An ecstatic, unnamed place, on the eve of an impending war. For the candle maker Michel, his wife Therese, and their 15-year-old son Adie, every day is a struggle for survival. The state subjugates its citizens; without money, one is worthless, and those who do not stand on the right side of politics and religion have already lost.

When the family learns that the government intends to evict them from their side of the river in a large-scale resettlement project to extract mineral resources, Adie takes drastic measures to defend himself against the pervasive oppression, shaking the world to its core. Everyone threatens to finally lose their grip.

In the first part of her trilogy, Zinnie Harris examines, in her characteristically sparse yet powerful language, the effects of war, terror, and oppression on a society.

How does one live and survive when communication is no longer possible, human emotions are a sign of weakness, and power and money are the only valid currency? What does the constant feeling of helplessness and inequality do to a person? And is it possible to retain faith and humanity despite all experienced injustices?

Part 2 and Part 3 of the trilogy, “Midwinter” and “Autumn,” will be staged later in the season.

Lars` Christmas
The Christmas show by Lars Redlich, wonderfully accompanied by his gifted jazz pianist Bijan

“With Lars Redlich, one of the upcoming great, versatile entertainers of this country is currently on the rise,” writes Berlin Morgenpost about this exceptional artist. After his comedy solo shows "Lars But Not Least!" and “A Little Lars Must Be” were celebrated nationwide by press and audience and awarded several prestigious prizes, the Christmas program of the likeable Berliner follows:
Experience concert, comedy, and showtime during the Christmas season and look forward to a lot of new and funny things around the theme of Christmas. Winking but also reflective - everyone gets their money's worth and will be served a slice of reality - and that even before the holidays! What happens to the unsold chocolate Santa Clauses after the holiday, what do snowmen think about summer, and why was there more tinsel in the past?
Also, the seemingly 500th time heard “Last Christmas” must naturally not be missed, although in a hilariously evil version. If the pre-Christmas stress becomes too much for you, this evening is just right.
“Musically brilliant, outrageously funny” Mannheimer Morgen
“The audience thanks the entertainer with standing ovations for a wonderful pre-Christmas evening” Fuldaer Zeitung

Pictures of your big love by Wolfgang Herrndorf
----------------------
A girl, named Isa, stands in the courtyard of an institution, the gate opens, the girl sneaks out and begins a journey.

"The stars wander, and I wander too."

Through forests, fields, villages, along the highway - on foot and hitchhiking.

"Universe here, Isa here, everything, where it belongs."

Along the way, she encounters people with their stories, she immerses herself in past worlds, in foreign worlds, in sad worlds, and she always carries her own world with her.
----------------------
Wolfgang Herrndorf worked on the unfinished novel that serves as the basis for this piece until the end: a story of Isa, a story of the people she meets, a story about life. With everything.

In December 1966, one of the alpine Adventsingen events took place in the historic town hall of the Südbavarian area. Since then, each year, singers and musicians from the region prepare visitors from the city and the surrounding areas for the holiday season and New Year's Eve on two evenings in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Like at the Wasserburg Folk Music Days, the traditional Wasserburg Adventsingen features only authentic festive and folk music.

As every year, the two evenings will once again be shaped by high-profile music and singing groups from the region under the musical direction of Helmut Fassl. This year, participating groups include:
Innleiten-Geigenmusi
Rettenbacher Sängerinnen
Bläserensemble LiabaBrass
Doppelquartett Wasserburger Land

Doors open at 7:00 PM

A Christmas Carol, based on the original story by Charles Dickens;

The old Ebenezer Scrooge is a hard-hearted miser, rarely encountered again. He regularly threatens his employee Bob Crachit with dismissal if he dares to take a look into the coal scuttle to maybe heat up the bitterly cold office a bit.

Christmas is humbug for Scrooge.

In the night of December 25th, he receives unexpected visitors. Three spirits visit him to give him a chance to improve himself and avoid a terrible fate. First, Scrooge is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past, then the Ghost of Christmas Present, and finally the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.

When Scrooge awakens again in his bedroom on the morning of December 25th, he is relieved and immediately begins his "new life." He is full of good intentions.
And Scrooge more than lives up to his vow to the spirits..........

Starring: Rüdiger Bach

A comedy for the classroom by Sophie Kassies

Two delivery men are supposed to hand over a large package, but unfortunately, the address label with the code is missing. What to do, since they can't check the package out of the delivery system this way? The singing delivery men try, with much imagination, to fulfill the seemingly impossible task and come up with a revolutionary idea in the process.

Sleeping Beauty from 4 years of age
musically staged by Heinz Redmann and Jochen Streicher based on the Brothers Grimm

It is clear: The Brothers Grimm did not retell the fairy tales exactly as they heard them. On the contrary, they carefully prepared them, simplifying or embellishing them according to their poetic sensibility and their pedagogical awareness. They often combined multiple versions of the same fairy tale, selecting from each narrative what they found most beautiful.

Great excitement at Rosenstein Castle! The King and Queen are celebrating their third wedding anniversary, and the festivities seem to be descending into chaos. Nothing is prepared, the court conductor collapses, the chef has not arranged any cake, and the kitchen boy Fritz is driving Cook Hildegard crazy with his jokes, while the court jester fails to deliver a single good joke. When the orchestra goes on strike, the tumult seems to be perfect. However, when the royal couple is prophesied by a frog that they will soon have a daughter, everything is back in order and the world is perfect. Yet, at the christening of Princess Rosalie, chaos seems to strike again, as the confused and nervous chef Sebastian has only invited twelve fairies from the land, instead of the usual thirteen. Outraged at not being invited, that thirteenth fairy curses little Rosalie. She shall prick herself on a spindle and perish on her 15th birthday. However, the Fairy of Justice softens this curse, so the princess shall not die from the spindle prick, but sleep for a hundred years. And the entire court along with her. The curse is fulfilled when Rosalie actually pricks herself on her birthday in a tower, tasked to spin sheep's wool into yarn by an old, mystical woman, and a powerful thorn hedge grows around Rosenstein Castle. It goes without saying that a handsome and brave prince learns of the fate of the sleeping beauty and wants to free her from the curse. But Prince Jascha must face some dangers before the thorn hedge transforms into a rosebush, and he can kiss Princess Rosalie.

Ah, the golden time of first love…
In the aforementioned dominating images: castle and tower, thorns and roses, people and fairies, a special ability of the fairy tale is revealed, not only in the tale of Sleeping Beauty, but in folklore in general. Despite its conciseness, the fairy tale embraces the world - the dead and living nature, human and human creation, as well as supernatural powers.

Despite the deep interpretations, the musical staging does not lack the typical Redmann/Streicher humor, nor the colorful costumes and catchy tunes. Only the best for the guests…

THE TERRIBLE FIVE
by Wolf Erlbruch
Children's Theater
----------------------
An illustrious team meets in the shadow of an old bridge. They are the terrible five! But what brings them together are not sinister plans: they are inconsolable because no one likes them... They want to change that - so the toad, the spider, the rat, the bat, and the hyena devise a plan!

"So a rapid round dance of magnificent Christmas carols richly threaded throughout jazz history"
You have certainly never heard the well-known Christmas carols like this before. At times, a cozy trio of voices resonates, reminiscent of an Allgäu Christmas parlor with a warm wood stove. Then, two tubas start grooving with complementary drum beats, building up to genuine urban riffs. Boogie, Gospel, Bach – here, just about anything is possible. Five outstanding musicians stage a Nativity play unlike any other.
Fueled by mischievousness and masterful craftsmanship, the Moving Krippenspielers create a new version of the well-known Christmas stories that allow for plenty of creativity and interaction on stage. Around thirty instruments, Christmas carols, costumes, singing, and a few folk dances – these are the ingredients for this timeless and innovative Nativity play. Folklore meets jazz meets Balkan meets Calypso meets funk meets punk meets classical meets reggae meets disco beat meets avant-garde meets trio singing meets comedy. The result is anything but predictable – both for the concert attendees and the performers.

Sold Out! You can put yourself on a waiting list at the library.

Biopic, Drama, Germany 2024
Length 133 min, PG-12

Director & Screenplay: Joachim A. Lang
Cast: Sam Riley, Lucas Gregorowicz, Hanns Zischler, Friedemann Vogel, Elisa Badenes, among others.

Stuttgart 1960 – when the choreographer John Cranko lands by plane, he has no idea that this moment will change his life. He is to choreograph as a guest at the Stuttgart Ballet. In London, where he had to endure numerous humiliations up to a work ban due to his homosexuality, nothing holds him back anymore. In Stuttgart, Cranko quickly wins the favor of the audience; no one seems to mind his unconventional lifestyle. After a short time, he becomes Ballet Director, lives for his art, and becomes a globally recognized star of the scene. He leads a bohemian lifestyle, has affairs, endures personal setbacks, and deep crises. Driven by obsession and passion for his work, John Cranko is always in search of perfection. At the peak of his career, he dies unexpectedly and far too young on the return flight from a tour of his company in the USA, amidst his dancers who were on board with him.

Director Joachim A. Lang tells in CRANKO the deeply human drama of a pop star of ballet. He describes the highs and lows in the life of a lonely, fragile soul, in search of love and recognition, and accompanies the uncomfortable spirit of an almost obsessed exceptional artist who strives uncompromisingly and self-destructively for artistic perfection. In doing so, Cranko's pioneering choreographies come to new life in graceful, melancholic, and intoxicating dance scenes on the big screen and prove: CRANKO has brought emotions into dance.

It’s snowing, it’s snowing! Finally! Frau Holle shakes the blankets out! What a blessing! Say some. What bad luck! Say others. The well-known fairytale of Goldmarie and Pechmarie, who experience the same story, is told. Or is it not?
Nicole Weißbrodt, a graduate of the Berlin University of the Arts "Ernst Busch", plays "the poetic staging with charm and wit in a bakery with dough figures and a lot of fun in storytelling" (Kultur-bad-vilbel.de). Duration: 40 min.

For his birthday, Bernd Lhotzky presents a brand new, highly entertaining project: “Here, the art of mischief is celebrated in a subtle and profound way. A playful game with the crack, the jump in the bowl, the germ cell of humor. Natural craziness as a counterpoint to artificial intelligence.” Stefan Hunstein reads texts by Paul Maar, Wilhelm Killmayer, Paul Watzlawick, Mark Twain, Ernst Jandl, and several other masters of subtle humor. Bernd Lhotzky and drummer Guillaume Nouaux comment on and complement the texts with verve. Thus, a musical-literary patchwork quilt is created, asymmetrical, cheeky, and full of surprises.
Actor, director, and photographer Stefan Hunstein has been continuously working on the most renowned German-speaking stages since the early 1980s, including the Bavarian State Theater in Munich, the Munich Kammerspiele, the Burgtheater in Vienna, the German Theater in Berlin, and the Schauspielhaus Zurich, as well as at the Salzburg Festival and the Ruhrtriennale. Stefan Hunstein is also the director of the Department of Performing Arts at the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts.
Guillaume Nouaux is one of the most esteemed drummers in the international jazz scene and at home on the most famous stages and festivals worldwide. The list of stars with whom he has collaborated is impressive. With his albums, he almost regularly wins the “Prix de l’Académie du Jazz” and the “Prix du Hot Club de France.”
Although still deeply rooted in classical jazz, Bernd Lhotzky has opened up more and more in recent years. His current projects could hardly be more different. His new solo album “Rag Bag” is a modern collage around the theme of ragtime. In the Shakespeare sonnets that Lhotzky has set to music for Birgit Minichmayr, folk music, art song, pop music, jazz, and chanson merge. This program has been performed with great success, among others, at the Burgtheater in Vienna and in the “Jazz At Berlin Philharmonic” series and won the award of the German Record Critics. In his acoustic illustration of “Krabat” by Otfried Preußler, the mill wheel is driven by several intertwined 12-tone series. With “Sinn für Unsinn,” he now adds another humorously sparkling mosaic piece, of which he himself has immense fun: “Stefan Hunstein and Guillaume, each on their own is a magician. I know only very few people who master their craft so well that the line to magic is crossed. So I am incredibly pleased to share the stage and the birthday cake with both of them this evening!”

Admission about 30 minutes before the start
