KEEP PLAYING TOUR 2024

Henrik Freischlader is still regarded as a hidden gem for those who have never heard of him. The German guitarist and singer has shared the stage with B.B. King, Gary Moore, Peter Green, Johnny Winter, Joe Bonamassa, and the Tedeschi Trucks Band, and has become an indispensable part of the international blues scene after numerous tours across Europe.

His virtuoso and passionate guitar playing, his rough distinctive voice, and a knack for good grooves have shaped his unmistakable style over the years. The multi-instrumentalist has released 11 studio albums and 7 live albums since 2006, and there is almost always a new album in the works on his label Cable Car Records.

With his well-rehearsed band, he will be back on tour in 2024. KEEP PLAYING is the motto under which each concert becomes a unique and special experience, as every evening is different - there is improvisation, free jamming, and the setlist is regularly expanded.

"It is hard to celebrate handmade and musically virtuoso blues rock any better. ... For me, the concert of the year and once again proof that the magic of a live concert in smaller clubs cannot be replaced by anything." (Chris Strieder, Darkstars.de)

Lineup:
Henrik Freischlader - Vocals & Guitar
Hardy Fischötter - Drums
Armin Alic - Bass
Moritz Fuhrhop - Hammond Organ & Keyboards

Doors open one hour before the start.

The classic of German cabaret

No other nation in the world has produced such a wealth of laws and regulations as we Germans. We simply regulate everything: the marriage when one party is unconscious (§1314 Civil Code) and the proper placement of warning triangles in funeral processions (§27 Road Traffic Regulations). And the legislator wraps it all in a language even lawyers can hardly understand anymore. The only defense against that is laughter!

This program sets new standards in terms of punchlines, is brilliantly dark-humored, intelligent, and highly entertaining.

"On the eighth day..." means: two hours of refreshing humor.

Woyzeck is a good man, Woyzeck is an abyss, Woyzeck eats peas, Woyzeck kills Marie. One knows that. This is how the story goes, seemingly inevitably. The main character of Büchners fragment of a drama is a victim of his circumstances: poor, disconnected, financially pressured as a father of a child, subjected to the authority of a captain and a doctor as a soldier. He is supposed to be a fighter, a provider, a man, and thereby transforms from victim to perpetrator, to the jealous murderer of his beloved Marie, who has the least to do with all this.

But does this model hold? Where does subordination occur today, where radicalization, where masculinity? A modern Woyzeck - one who drifts away, who seeks virtual authority in online men's forums and pick-up artist courses, who is fed by a professor with images of masculinity and protein shakes. One who desperately longs for closeness yet actively detaches from his humanity, piece by piece. One who becomes a perpetrator because it is easier to hurt than to be vulnerable. Where is the space for Marie in this? Has she not long since left this story?

Already from 2004 to 2013, Rosenau, together with Theater Rampe, Theaterhaus, Literaturhaus, and Laboratorium, annually organized the "Viennese Week" festival. The idea was to focus on Vienna/Austria for a week and specifically invite cabaret artists, writers, authors, and theater productions from there to Stuttgart. The series "Wiener Blut" now picks up on this idea again. Throughout the year, various Austrian cabaret artists will present their programs at Rosenau: Social, political, and interpersonal topics are entertainingly brought to the stage in a cabaret style! And everything is a bit more biting, sinister, ironic, quirky, and often more poetic than from German territory.
The subscription consists of the following 6 events:
- 09.02.24 Benedikt Mitmannsgruber with "The strange case of Benedikt Mitmannsgruber"
- 04.04.24 Blonder Engel with "Songs that are funny and sometimes a bit sad, but that's okay"
- 19.04.24 Christine Teichmann with "Left right human rights"
- 11.09.24 Magda Leeb with "Pigging out"
- 04.10.24 Blözinger with "New Program"
- 23.10.24 Hosea Ratschiller with "HOSEA"

Finally, the time has come!
Join Uncle D on the new comedy tour "What do you already know about love".

Uncle D has experienced it all and is here to share his absurd stories and experiences with you.

Will his relationship tips help you in life? Probably not. But what he can guarantee 100% is that you will leave the show with a big smile on your face.

NATURALLY 7 creates the multifaceted sound cosmos of a full band from the sound of drums, to the bass, the guitar, the harmonica or even the trombone - and all without instruments! While the 7 men sing a cappella, they are not comparable to many other groups in this genre, as few achieve such a perfect sound. Sometimes it's R'n'B, soul or hip-hop, other times gospel, pop or even rock. With playful perfection and absolutely impressive musical and interpersonal harmony, NATURALLY 7 consistently provide their audience with unforgettable experiences of an extraordinary kind. In addition to their musical talent, the seven vocal artists are also great entertainers, reaching every corner of the stage and enchanting every visitor so far.

On the @the Movies Tour 2023, Naturally 7 will perform great songs from Titanic, The Sound of Music, West Side Story, Grease, Jailhouse Rock, 8 Mile, Saturday Night Fever, and many more, including themes from James Bond films! The show will be brimming with songs that will bring tears, laughter, deep breaths, and wonder! The show is fantastic, and the performance may even be better, as Naturally 7 brings these film themes to life along with so many other live show favorites of their fans.

NATURALLY 7 was founded in 1999 by ROGER THOMAS, who alongside his brother WARREN sought five other talented singers from the area. This was sparked by WARREN wanting a drum set as a child. However, their mother thought it would make too much noise. Therefore, he began to vocally mimic various drum sounds, which since the 1980s is also known as "beatboxing" in hip-hop. This led to the others in the band also having fun imitating instruments, which soon became the trademark of NATURALLY 7. Furthermore, this is the distinctive feature compared to many a cappella groups that primarily perform singing. What comes so effortlessly from the lips of these seven Americans, they call "Vocal Play."

Doors open at 7:00 PM

The exhibition BODY WORLDS in Berlin is dedicated to the theme "Facets of Life".

Dr. Gunther von Hagens opens up the human body in his Body Worlds exhibitions, making the fragile, worthy structures of life visible to medical laymen. Together with curator Dr. Angelina Whalley, he shows in the exhibition in Berlin-Mitte the facets of life - between happiness and unhappiness, pressure and equilibrium, chance and fate, obsession with the body and forgetfulness of the body, as well as excess and modesty.

The museum opened its doors in Berlin in 2015. It is located at Alexanderplatz directly in front of the Berlin TV Tower. Since then, visitors have had the opportunity to marvel at a variety of unique plastinates. These provide a deep insight into the highly complex interior of the human body. Interested individuals receive detailed knowledge about organ functions and common diseases, all easily understandable. The lifelike poses establish an immediate connection to the viewers.

What connects us, what keeps us upright and in motion, what makes us laugh and love? At BODY WORLDS, you will find answers to these and many other questions. Prepare yourself for a deeply touching and inspiring encounter with life. Do not miss a visit and experience the fascination of plastination.

The first BODY WORLDS museum presents unique plastinates that show the function of individual organs as well as common diseases. It gives insights into the highly complex and structures of the human body and shows what connects us, keeps us upright and in motion, and what makes us laugh and love.

Moreover, the Museum opens the visitors' eyes to various facets that determine our existence: Gluttony & Restraint | Excess & Moderation | Chance & Fate | Pressure & Balance | Happiness & Unhappiness

Welcome to the realm of knowledge in the Baroque era: Stepping onto creaking floorboards into the quiet grandeur of our historical library hall, one is immediately enveloped by the collective knowledge of the Early Modern period. Like stage sets in a Baroque theater, the original bookshelves jut into the space, housing around 50,000 books from all fields of knowledge. Behind unassuming book spines lie remarkable treasures, such as the first German Bible printed in America.

At the end of the 17th century, the orphanage's library was established as one of the first public libraries in Germany. Primarily through donations, book exchanges, and their own publications, the library grew so rapidly that within a few years, it was comparable to significant German university libraries. In 1728, it received its own building, which is considered the oldest surviving secular library structure in Germany. Not only in recent times has the library been visited by guests and researchers from around the world: Albrecht von Haller, Johann Joachim Winckelmann, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe all admired its bibliophilic treasures. We present a selection of them for you in rotating cabinet exhibitions in the former reading room of the library.

10 am - 5 pm

The Art and Natural History Chamber is considered the oldest German museum room. It was established by August Hermann Francke for educational purposes and is now once again set up according to the original museum concept of the 18th century in its historical location in the attic of the Historical Orphanage.

Eighteen richly decorated collection cabinets house approximately 3000 natural specimens, curiosities, and artifacts. They provide a unique impression of a Baroque cabinet of curiosities. Unlike modern museums, the chamber follows an encyclopedic collecting approach. A distinction is made between natural specimens and artifacts. The natural specimens are divided into rocks, plants, and animals, while the artifacts are categorized into visual arts, calligraphy, coins, everyday culture, and clothing. The goal was to create a mirror image of the world: a microcosm that made the macrocosm as the wonderful creation of God tangible.

In a series of events, art projects take place around the Art and Natural History Chamber. In the so-called "Contemporary Reflections on the Art and Natural History Chamber," foundations invite artists to engage in an artistic dialogue with the chamber.

Palace-like, the orphanage rises on Franckeplatz. Then as now, it is the centerpiece of the Francke Foundations. Erected in 1698 as the first building of the school city, it represents a new facet of European Baroque, combining confident representation without extravagant ornamentation and setting the tone for orphanage architecture.

Today, the orphanage is our museum and cultural center. Right from the start, two permanent exhibitions guide you through the history of the foundation and the global impact of Pietism. On the first floor, the former prayer and singing hall surprises with its bright architecture. Today, it enjoys an excellent reputation as a concert hall due to its fantastic acoustics. In the adjacent conference rooms, a photo exhibition showcases the impressive renovation work since the foundations were reestablished in 1991. The second floor is reserved for our changing special exhibitions, which provide insight into important themes of the foundation's history from both a historical and contemporary perspective. Passing through the art and natural history collections in the attic, you reach the balcony via a narrow wooden staircase. Here, a wide view opens up over the impressive ensemble with school buildings from three centuries. There is also a splendid panorama of the Old Town of Halle from here. In the basement, children can explore their own paths in the Krokoseum.

10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

What power does the word have? For Halleschen Pietismus, the word was of central importance. On the ground floor of the Historical Orphanage, we show you how August Hermann Francke's reform movement could spread around the world.

Francke developed central reformative goals of Martin Luther's with Halleschen Pietismus. His approach was as clear as it was revolutionary: Every person should find God through their own Bible reading. However, for this to happen, everyone - boys and girls alike - had to learn to read, everyone should be able to afford their own Bible and it should be printed in their own native language. Therefore, Francke established schools for all social classes, printed millions of German-language People's Bibles, and created an international network through which the Bible was translated into many other languages. His educational initiative allowed a broad population to engage with the word. In the 18th-century evangelical parsonages, the authors of the Romantic and Enlightenment periods were highly regarded. A culture of self-reflection spread in Pietism, which was reflected in diaries and personal testimonies, giving us remarkable insights into the spiritual life of people of that time. Symbolically, the power of the word is also evident in the meticulously restored pulpit from the Church of St. Ulrich in Halle, where Francke preached from 1715 and which you can admire in the exhibition.

10:00 am - 5:00 pm
