„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.

LAME DUCK, BLIND CHICKEN - a play for the whole family from 6 to 99 years by Ulrich Hub

Chickens and ducks love company, and chickens usually know exactly what they want. Ducks, on the other hand, can be very clingy and get sad when they are alone. Two personalities of these beautiful, feathered scratch and water creatures meet in this play by pure coincidence. But from the encounter of the two quite different nest-builders with rather contrasting characters, life attitudes, and future visions, companions emerge who discover the unexpected, together master the most difficult undertakings, overcome boundaries, and face a great adventure, greater than they could ever have dreamed: despite their differences, they have become friends!

›Die Schöne Müllerin‹, ›Die Winterreise‹ or ›Der Erlkönig‹ – these are masterpieces of the Romantic art song by Franz Schubert that every singer must study at some point in their career. So too did the American baritone Bryan Benner during his studies in Austria. But how should one interpret the songs correctly if one does not master the language well? For this reason, the baritone eventually began translating the texts into his native language. And suddenly, the rigid art songs revealed themselves as emotional soul pieces – as if written by a singer-songwriter of our time.

With his band, the Erlkings, Bryan Benner has found the right ensemble to accompany his interpretations of Schubert in an equally unusual and unique way: with guitar, cello, tuba, and drums. The four musicians have become indispensable in the great song podiums and are regularly guests at the Schubertiade in Hohenems, for example. Musically, they have also applied their art to Johannes Brahms, Robert Schumann, Richard Strauss, and most recently Joseph Haydn. In Maulbronn, they return to the essence: From A for ›Adelaide‹ to Z for ›Zufriedenheit‹.

Warsaw, 1939. The Polski Theater is banned from performing a Nazi farce. Instead, they quickly put on "Hamlet." During the famous monologue “To be or not to be,” the pilot Sobinsky leaves the hall – and goes straight to the dressing room of the leading actress. Her husband, the famous actor Josef Tura, is furious. But when war breaks out on the grand stage of the world and the Polish resistance is in danger, they must stick together.
And suddenly the theater troupe is no longer performing for the audience but for their lives.

The play “Sein oder Nichtsein” – based on the film by Ernst Lubitsch – is about war and Nazi terror. In contrast, there stands the cohesion of a theater ensemble that bravely and cunningly opposes injustice. A plea for civil courage through the means of comedy.

“The film, which premiered in the USA in 1942 by Jewish Berliner Ernst Lubitsch, has become a perceptive document of its time that holds its own against Chaplin's THE GREAT DICTATOR and has already proven over 60 years ago that one can laugh at Nazis without downplaying their crimes.” – Sächsische Zeitung

“One of the best films by Ernst Lubitsch, which, as a biting satire, portrays the henchmen of National Socialism as grotesque actors and honors the acting troupe as tragicomic heroes.”
– Lexikon des internationalen Films

The FRANK MUSCHALLE TRIO with Frank Muschalle (Piano), Dirk Engelmeyer (Drums/Vocals) and Matthias Klüter (Double Bass) has been touring for over 30 years and has played over 2000 concerts across Europe, Paraguay, Bolivia, the USA, and North Africa.

Invitations to concerts such as the "Stars of Boogie-Woogie" festival at the Vienna Concert House, the "Les Nuits des Jazz & Boogie" festival in Paris, a two-week tour in the USA, concerts and tours in Poland, France, Spain, England, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, and the Netherlands underline the international class of the trio's musicians. The Frank Muschalle Trio has played concerts and recorded with international blues and jazz greats such as Red Holloway, Carey Bell, Hubert Sumlin, Carrie Smith, Jimmy Mc Cracklin, Axel Zwingenberger, Herb Hardesty, and many more.

Swinging blues and boogie woogie, rolling bass lines, a trilling treble, and a pulsating rhythm, sometimes crisp, sometimes gentle, and always swinging, that is what the Frank Muschalle Trio stands for. And on this evening, both original compositions and interpretations of classics of the genre such as "Boogie Woogie Stomp," "Sheik Of Araby," or "Just For You" will be heard.

This comedy is a cult classic! Great punchlines, lots of music, and six actors – including audience favorite Andreas Klaue – who go (almost) to the limits!

Since sales have been weak for the local automotive industry and its suppliers, all friends in the group have gradually lost their jobs. The six guys are broke, without prospects, and they aren't doing well with women either. But then they come up with a brilliant idea: they want to form a male striptease group to make big money. The fact that none of them have model figures and that they all have no idea about dancing doesn't bother them at first. But soon it becomes clear that shedding all their clothes is something that needs to be learned as well...

A grandiose fun that nonetheless has some thought-provoking undertones: six men fighting against the looming unemployment with wit and inventiveness. How far will they go?

“Some materials are simply so good that they can stand out wonderfully both on stage and on screen,” wrote the Süddeutsche Zeitung about the comedy, which was also successfully filmed under the title “The Full Monty.” Director Murat Yeginer, who already had the audience in tears with laughter during “Das Fräulein Wunder,” has brought the play to the here and now – and to Stuttgart. A lively comedy about men seeking new ways to keep up with the times!

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

Chaos in the Village of Animals

As if things weren't already busy enough in the village of animals. First, the goat's birthday is forgotten, then a wolf shows up, old and with only one tooth. The entire animal world is excited, but the hen is also very curious. Because he wants to cook a stone soup, the wolf. Can you also put celery in it? "Yes, you can, it adds a certain flavor," he says. And in concern for their fellow resident, horse, duck, pig, and goat also come by. Will the police dog find the right solution? And what is the wolf actually up to?

From the wonderful children's book "Stone Soup" by the French author and illustrator Anaïs Vaugelade (translated into German by Tobias Scheffel), Bernd Kohlhepp and Roland Mahr have created a play for the whole family. About living together, about prejudices, about peculiarities and vanities, but above all about friendship. For those starting out at the end of their daycare career, for clever foxes at the beginning of their school career, for parents who have always wanted to go to the theater, for grandparents, and all dreamers who ask themselves questions about living together.

Step in for music and fun, for reflection and wonder.
