We read about three homicides and a suicide, about hesitant love and raw violence. Stories about men and women, united in that their lives suddenly turn upside down, their horizons lying in the light of nowhere. People are torn apart in the times of reunification, losing their composure. More appearance than reality increasingly becomes the essence of life. These 17 Leipzig stories are characterized by the destinies of those who did not give up as little as their city, abandoned to decay. They show, one can be both winner and loser at the same time. || Musical accompaniment: Jörg Schneider, guitar

Did you know that algorithms grant women smaller loans? That the energy crisis caused prices for female products to rise more than for male products? And that German laws prevent fathers from taking sick days for their children? Bestselling author Alexandra Zykunov gathers absurd but very real numbers in her new book that illustrate the inequality between women and men.

For many children, this is their first major open-air concert, and of course, it is a musical event, a nighttime adventure, and a cozy evening with permission to romp around. The Berlin band Rumpelstil is expecting the adventurers - those who dare to venture with their flashlights into dark basement rooms, the tinkerers - who take apart and rebuild flashlights with joy, and the dreamers - who read secretly under the covers. They will all come. And they will come with flashlights, glowing fishing floats, self-built spotlights, headlamps on the left and right, and with glow sticks.

For 20 years now, special concerts for the whole family have been taking place at the GeyserHaus Parkbühne.

Under the open sky, children and adults will create magic with their flashlights to the music of Rumpelstil. This extraordinary outdoor event is always something special; it begins in the twilight and ends in the light of flashlights – for many children, it is their first open-air evening concert.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m.

Celebrate World Children's Day with us at the City Cultural Center Borna!

Program

In the castle, one celebration follows another, the king lives in luxury, food is his life. As a result, he becomes fatter and sicker and can no longer rule. His daughter would like to help him. But how can she convey that to her father? A false advisor has taken up residence in the castle and does not let anyone near the king. He whispers to continue his unhealthy lifestyle. Unexpectedly, the funny vegetable people from the Eco-land come to the princess's aid.

The didactic topic is addressed in our play using artistic means. The result is a story that is both dramatic and light-hearted, addressing mental and emotional questions about a healthy lifestyle. The king, greedy and suffering, is still a likable guy. His daughter, Princess Isabell, worries about him and finds friends to help her in her distress. The children also help defeat the evil entity personified as an elf.

Suitable for children aged 5 and up (preschool/elementary school)
Duration: 40 minutes
Tickets: €5 Child / €7 Adult

Even at the age of 60, Joseph Haydn ventured into new territory: In his Symphony No. 99, he for the first time includes two clarinets, whose timbres he fully develops. Allegedly his favorite symphony, the composition masterfully moves between chamber music-like writing and powerful tutti. Beethoven, too, looked forward as he shaped his choral fantasy in a novel grand form – undoubtedly a precursor to the 9th Symphony! And finally, Arvo Pärt, who – today hardly imaginable – once was regarded as the enfant terrible among Estonian composers: His Credo caused a scandal in 1968: A religious text set to music that begins tonally (in reference to Bach), which then escalates into the supposed chaos of aleatoricism through a twelve-tone series, appeared at that time as a monstrosity.

TV actor Roland Jankowsky reads new quirky criminal short stories

For more than 23 years he has been playing the somewhat special Commissioner Overbeck in the popular ZDF crime series Wilsberg, whose path is mainly paved with pitfalls.

Roland Jankowsky, the actor behind Overbeck, has been very successful with his crime readings on tour for over 10 years, alongside the filming. Here, it is not so much pitfalls that pave his way, but increasingly corpses. In 2016, the viewers of the Eifel-Kulturtage chose Jankowsky with his crime reading as the winner of the audience award "Golden Berta". TV viewers voted him as the "Coolest TV Commissioner in Germany 2018".

All short stories are characterized by surprising twists, wit, grotesque situations, and end unexpectedly. Jankowsky is an excellent reader.

Admission: 4:00 PM
