„Fly with me! Fly with me!“, calls Albi, the Alpine swift, who nests under the roof of the Linden Museum during the summer months. On your flight through the permanent exhibitions, you will encounter the transparent kangaroo, hear about an extinct bird, and can listen to the conversation with Seraa, the elephant. Whether in pictures or clothing, made from wood, ceramics, and stone – the animals and their representations tell of the coexistence of humans and animals. This relationship is not always straightforward. On one hand, many animals are admired, revered, and appreciated as companions or domestic and farm animals, while on the other hand, their habitats are also destroyed and they are hunted or displaced.

In the exhibition, illustrator Promina Shrestha brings the animals on the objects to life through her images. During the listening and stamping rally, you will discover together with Albi what the animals have to say, solve puzzles, and collect stamps.

The motet cycle “Path of Miracles” for 17-part vocal ensemble, singing bowls, and crotales describes in four large-scale movements in a musically impressive way a courageous pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Embedded in meditative soundscapes, at times surreal shimmering sound layers and expressively declaimed rhythms, the work of British composer Joby Talbot (*1971) vividly narrates enriching and daunting experiences along the pilgrimage route, always accompanied by a seemingly endless quest for inner freedom.

The expressive choreography visualizes courageous action and behavior in the societal tension field between freedom and convention, risk and security, egocentrism and social responsibility.



In a proven collaboration with the dance ensemble “ANDAS Modern Dance Art” of the municipal music school (SMTT), the semiprofessional “Sindelfinger Vocal Cabinet”, founded in 2017 by District Cantor Daniel Tepper, interprets the spiritual music of Joby Talbot and unites challenging contemporary choral music with improvisational expressive dance. At a hidden cultural location, the audience can expect an unforgettable mysterious pilgrimage through the Sindelfingen underworld – a sensitive overall experience of a very special kind!

A tragicomic theater collage about the great themes of freedom and responsibility.
A production by teatro cosmokult e.V.
Direction: Anke Marx and Annette von der Mülbe
Music: Ulrich Lücke

The most serious thing a state can take from a person, after life, is - freedom! And the play "Break Free" starts exactly where this has already happened: in a women's prison.
In a scenographic collage, the most diverse people come together here: from petty criminals to serious offenders, from the wrongfully imprisoned to the people working there. And they all have different ideas, hopes, and dreams of freedom and responsibility...

In the already widely known style of teatro cosmokult, this production developed specifically for the Biennale 2025 shines a kaleidoscopic light on serious topics with a lot of music, wit, and humor from very different perspectives.
Laughing and crying, singing and sighing, cliches, kitsch, and art, pondering and grooving, – we are so free! Because all of this is just a small step away from each other on the stage boards.
A piece by the young and the old for the young and the old.

As part of the Biennale 2025, the Musical Class of SMTT brings the family musical "Tom Sawyer" to the stage of the Turn- und Festhalle Darmsheim. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a novel published in 1876 by American author Mark Twain. The book is considered a classic of children's literature.
Through Tom's eyes, we embark on an exciting journey that captures the feelings of childhood in all its wild, untamed imagination. Tom's playful pranks and relentless curiosity illuminate the limitless possibilities of youth, even as they touch on more serious themes such as love, fear, and moral growth.

In a small town in the mid-19th century along the Mississippi, Tom Sawyer enjoys a carefree life with his Aunt Polly. But one day, the idyllic life is interrupted by Indiana Joe. Tom must embark on an adventure with his new best friend Hucklberry Finn to rescue his girlfriend Becky.

Direction: Axel Krauße
Costume and Set Design: Christina Wachendorff
Assistant Director: Anna-Lena Just
Technical Support: Junge Bühne Sindelfingen
Stage Construction: Fabian Krause
Music: Igor Petrov-Schell, Wieland Harms, Klaus Kreczmarsky

The cast:
Gudrun Steinle, Natalie Ahmadi-Nia, Mathias Baier, Daniel Bayer, Jonas Böhme, Sabine Duffner, Karl Göbel, Sandra Jornitz, Felix Knoll, Adriana Marzullo, Alina Peci, Hendrik Pohl, Gisela Samesch, Dr. Bernd Schmalenbach, Emmy Schütz-Plehn, Horst Zecha.

The gods are not what they used to be. Three of them have descended to earth to find at least one good person. But reality does not allow for a morally good life. Thus, they place all their hopes on the young prostitute Shen Te, who offers them shelter. As a start-up aid for further good deeds, she receives money. She becomes an entrepreneur and acquires a tobacco shop. But doing good and wanting good are two different things...

In the impressive setting of the Sindelfingen Reconciliation Church, Brecht's story about an imaginary Sezuan is brought to life in a modern and playful way. Director Axel Krauße brings Brecht's classic into dialogue with a contemporary perspective – raising central questions about justice, responsibility, and the contradictions in our society.

The production offers a great opportunity to reflect on the complex themes of responsibility and personal freedom, and to be inspired by the powerful portrayal in an unusual, atmospheric space. A poignant engagement with the challenges of the present, which Brecht's masterpiece (premiered in 1943) still raises with all urgency today. And a plea for optimism and a happy ending!

Dschungelbuch
„Probier’s mal mit Gemütlichkeit, mit Ruhe und Gemütlichkeit …
Mit dem Dschungelbuch verwandeln wir dieses Jahr den Burggraben von Stettenfels in einen lebendigen Urwald. Affen schwingen von Baum zu Baum, Elefanten stampfen durch den Dschungel, und gefährliche Raubtiere wie Tiger und Schlange lauern im Schatten.
Dabei begleiten wir das Menschenkind Mowgli, bei seinen Abenteuern durch die Wildnis.
An seiner Seite stehen: der tollpatschige Bär Baloo und der liebenswerte Panther Bagheera. Sie lehren ihn nicht nur die gemütlichen Seiten des Lebens, sondern auch, was wahre Freundschaft bedeutet.
Doch Vorsicht! Plötzlich taucht Shir Khan auf, der gefährliche Tiger. Mowgli hat nur einen Ausweg: Er muss zurück in die Menschensiedlung. Und als wäre das nicht genug, wird Mowgli auch noch von einer Affenbande entführt. – Hoffentlich endet alles gut …

Das Dschungelbuch: Ein spannendes Theatererlebnis mit viel Musik für die ganze Familie.

Äbtissin oder Magd - Entscheidungen machen Geschichte

by Tobias Ballnus and Tanja Frank

Fire! The mill in Heimingen is burning! The monastery responsible for the mill has no money for a new construction. Thus, the fire is the spark that ignites the long-suppressed anger of the farmers. The fields are barren and the burden of taxes and levies is heavy. The clever maid Margarete presents the problems of the Heimingen to the reclusive Abbess Christina. Will the Abbess find a way to help the farmers? Or are the desperate left with only the uprising against the authorities to alleviate their misery? Is this already a step too far for the farmers? Or can the Abbess assert herself against the overpowering bailiff? Decisions must be made.

In this interactive piece, the audience decides and thus changes the course of history: Does the maid seek compromises or does she call for armed resistance? Does the Abbess change her stance or does she hold firm? Thirty-three possible scenes and four stages open alternative versions of the farmers' uprising that was brutally suppressed 500 years ago before the gates of Böblingen.

Through the open-air spectacle in the Böblingen marketplace, it becomes clear how our individual and collective actions shape society and how relevant moral decisions still are today.

Women need men and vice versa! Actually a truism.
But when the woman is mowing the lawn and the man accompanies her with a sunshade, something is wrong. Despite all gender equality, the modern woman longs for positive masculinity. But not with primitive macho behavior like "can you cool my beer with your cold feet," but with male clarity, determination, and decisiveness. Men nowadays stand in the bathroom in the morning and think: "Underwear worn the right way – daily goal achieved."
The dilemma: without masculinity and femininity, there is no sexual attraction. And so everyone accepts that alongside the espresso machine, the dildo is now also part of a well-equipped household, while men are more engaged with pornography than with their wives. According to the motto: "Get your appetite whetted elsewhere, starve at home." How times have changed. In the past, we had no sex before marriage, now we have no sex in marriage. Can we turn back the clock? How do we achieve more togetherness? Do I need a helmet for that?
A lot has become jumbled in our days; no stone is left unturned. In the past, people were smart and phones were stupid; today it’s the other way around. One thinks: "Lord, let brain fall from heaven. Or stones. As long as you hit."
Stephan Bauer's new program is a ray of hope. The absurd rescue from false gender ideals, exaggerated notions of happiness, and the disorientation that modernity brings today.
A microphone, a bar stool, and two hours of punchlines in rapid succession. And for the audience, two hours of laughter without a pause. Just like the "great Bauer."

Doors open: 18:00.

After die Schrillen Fehlaperlen had 100 consecutive sold-out performances with their program "Liebe; Frust und Leberwurst", it was probably time for the third full-length program. And finally, the time has come: The texts are polished and the voices are warmed up, it can begin.

 

In their new program "Friede, Freude, Pustekuchen", the four shrill pearls from the Fehlatal sing about everything life has to offer. Too many cocktails at the coffee gossip, the obsession with youth and its consequences, tough guys and love killers, the acquisition and disposal of men, as well as the adventures of their African trip, everything is humorously and ruthlessly presented in the matching costume.

 

Ferdi (the guitar-playing token man) once again has the task of enriching the program with his "songs from a man's perspective." Thus, this is also a program for all genders. A humorous, musical cocktail of many new songs, spiced up with a little bit of the tried and true… For example, their little internet hit "Aber mir roichts" must of course not be missing.

 

One may be excited... Women too...

Alice can hardly believe her eyes when she meets a white rabbit that can talk and carries a clock with it. She has truly never seen anything so strange! Curious, she follows him and falls down a rabbit hole into an underground wonderland. A crazy adventure begins in a marvelous world where all logical rules are null and void. On her journey, Alice encounters all sorts of absurd figures and strange beings, such as the mysterious Cheshire Cat, a mad tea party, or the power-hungry Queen of Hearts along with her peculiar court, which consists entirely of playing cards. Alice bravely faces every adventure and steadfastly walks the twisted paths of Wonderland. The only question is: How does she get home again?
“Alice in Wonderland” is a wonderfully crazy journey through the land of imagination and a tribute to childlike open-mindedness and the willingness to embrace the new without prejudice.

Admission: 2:30 PM

Glitzer, Haltung und ein lautes Ja zur Vielfalt: Paradiesfarben ist eine Varietéshow der besonderen Art: Am 12. und 13. Juli versammelt die bunte Bühnenshow einige der spannendsten Stimmen und Körper der deutschsprachigen und internationalen Szene – aus den Bereichen Burlesque, Drag, Comedy und Live-Gesang – kuratiert von Herrn Jäger, dem Co-Produzenten des renommierten Stuttgart Burlesque Festivals. Das Lineup featured mit Sugar Vixen sogar eine international erfolgreiche Burlesque Queen und Preisträgerin aus Kanada. Charmant moderiert wird der Abend wieder von Raketenmieze, die zuletzt in den Schlagzeilen war, da sie kurzerhand einen CSD in Ihrer Wirkungsstätte Friedrichshafen erfolgreich ins Leben gerufen hat.

Was die Showacts verbindet, ist kein Motto, sondern eine Haltung: Attitüde. Jede Performance ist ein Ausdruck von Selbstbestimmung – humorvoll, berührend, herausfordernd oder politisch. Paradiesfarben gibt Raum für persönliche Geschichten, für Reibung, für große Gesten und kleine Wahrheiten. Ein Abend gegen das Schubladendenken – mit Haltung, Stil und maximaler Strahlkraft.

Mitwirkende u.a.:
Sugar Vixen (Burlesque, Montreal Kanada)
Bijoux (Boylesque, Köln)
Vicky Voyage (Drag, München)
Electrik Poodles (Burlesque & Comedy, Schweiz)
Lucy la fer (Burlesque, Berlin)
Cindy Jenner (Drag, Stuttgart)

Bis heute unvergessen, ist die oscarprämierte Verfilmung von „Alexis Sorbas“ aus dem Jahr 1964 mit Anthony Quinn in der Hauptrolle. Die Vorlage stammt vom griechischen Autor Nikos Kazantzakis, der mit diesem Roman zu Weltruhm gelangte. Im Hafen von Piräus trifft ein Schriftsteller auf den makedonischen Arbeiter Alexis Sorbas. Vom ersten Augenblick an verbindet die beiden eine große Sympathie. Zusammen brechen sie mit dem Schiff nach Kreta auf, um dort ein aufgelassenes Braunkohlebergwerk zu pachten, und den Kohlenabbau neu zu beleben. Der Schriftsteller ist des ewigen Ringens nach geistiger Erkenntnis überdrüssig, und sehnt sich nach einem anderen, ursprünglicheren Leben fernab von der Zunft der „Papiermäuse“. In der Weltabgeschiedenheit eines kretischen Dorfes beziehen sie eine Baracke und beginnen unter Sorbas Leitung ein Unternehmen aufzubauen. Als das Projekt zuletzt auf spektakuläre Weise scheitert, lehrt Sorbas den Schriftsteller das Tanzen und die Niederlage löst sich in reine Lebensfreude auf. Der schlichte Arbeiter und Weltenbummler wird zum Lehrmeister des Gelehrten und zeigt ihm die Ewigkeit im Augenblick.

Zu ihrem zehnjährigen Bühnenjubiläum 2025 bringt das Duo Phantasma diese zeitlos lebenskluge Geschichte zurück auf die Bühne der Scala Esslingen. Wer das Duo kennt, weiß, dass ein solcher Abend süchtig macht und die Inspiration in jedem Wort und jedem Ton vibriert.
