Samantha loves Christmas with everything that comes with it. Especially the evenings by the fireplace in her parent's house in Aspen. When she wants to make her way home from San Francisco University, a snowstorm paralyzes the West Coast – as well as her car. Now there is only one way to get home: a ride with Tristan Sterling and his twin brother. But Tristan is the last person Sam wants to ride with. Because the bad boy broke her heart years ago.

This is what the press can write about Okan:
Okan Seese is deaf, gay, and half Turkish. And he is Germany's only deaf comedian who also performs for hearing audiences. In his solo show "Better deaf than not a bird at all," expectations are turned upside down: An interpreter, who is paid not per hour but per laughter, translates the signs for the audience. And Okan only pays for the laughs he can hear.
You may wonder if deaf people can enjoy music? How do they hear their alarm clock? Or if they are even allowed to drive a car? How do deaf people make phone calls?! Can they dial emergency services? And does moaning turn them on during sex?
With great self-irony and from an unfamiliar perspective for the hearing audience, Okan speaks ... I'm sorry: tells about his everyday life. He skillfully plays with stereotypes, only to break them the next moment. His humor is surprising and honest, and his facial expressions are lovable. Okan takes us into a fascinating world with a strong community, a rich culture, and a unique expressive language.

This is what Okan writes about himself:
"Hello, my name is Okan Seese, and I am deaf. That's why my neighbors love me because I have never called the police for noise disturbance. But when we play Activity together, the mood can quickly shift, especially after my tenth consecutive win.
But what can I do, I grew up in a deaf family, everyone around me was constantly signing.
As a deaf, gay, Turkish-descended person, my perspective on things rarely conforms to the so-called norm. Diversity is a part of my existence, and art in its diversity is a vital form of expression for me. I am an actor, music translator, sign language poet, host, and comedian. My work has already won me several awards at sign language festivals, so I am known in the deaf community... I mean, my name is recognized there.
But the world is not enough, that's why I want to finally share my love for stand-up comedy with the small group of hearing people as well. To make it not just a great time for me, I have enlisted comedian Archie Clapp, who simultaneously translates my jokes into his language for the hearing audience. Sounds crazy? It is! And that's precisely why it's very, very funny!
With each show, the conviction grows that humor is a universal language that helps build a bridge between deaf and hearing people. So, come and see for yourselves and be my guests at 'Better deaf than not a bird at all.'"

One is probably not entirely mistaken in describing Simon & Garfunkel as the most popular music duo of all time.

Founded in 1964 by Paul and Art, who had known each other since elementary school, both outsiders connected by a great love for music.

With "Sound of Silence," they achieved international breakthrough, and Simon & Garfunkel became not only icons of folk rock but also figureheads for an entire generation of pacifists. However, as much as their voices harmonized in their songs, so great was the disharmony of their "on-and-off" relationship. Art Garfunkel always drew focus with his angelic voice, although the undeniable musical brain of the duo was Paul Simon.

After only five very successful albums, Simon & Garfunkel permanently separated in 1971, although they occasionally performed together for special occasions.

Vanessa Eckart and Katharina Müller-Elmau, in "The Harmony Game," not only dedicate themselves to the music but also illuminate the friendship of the two, largely marked by jealousy and suspicion: What led them to work through their issues with each other, where did the frequent disharmony in their private lives come from, and the perfect harmony on a musical level? And what actually comes out when you view success, ambition, envy, rivalry, affection, and animosity from a female perspective?

"The Harmony Game" – an evening full of harmonies, with stories, anecdotes, background facts, and
above all, almost two dozen outstanding songs.

By and featuring Vanessa Eckart and Katharina Müller-Elmau

"Müller-Elmau and Eckart perform their program 'The Harmony Game' in the wonderful series 'A Bow to...' at the Metropoltheater. The opening number 'Mrs. Robinson' overwhelms the audience so much that the singers were left astonished by its effect on the premiere night." (Abendzeitung)

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

4 talers and 16 groschen are considered the founding capital of the Francke Foundations. How an unparalleled school city grew from this unexpected donation to a simple pastor in Glaucha can be discovered on the ground floor of the Historical Orphanage. A multimedia installation and numerous extraordinary objects will transport you into the fascinating founding and impact history of Francke's work. Because what began with a school for the poor and an orphanage, developed in a few decades into a true reform project that was based on education: Over 2,000 students learned in various schools, specially constructed economic buildings, a hospital, and a pharmacy guaranteed the care of over 3,000 people on the premises, unique cultural-historical collections in the library and chamber of wonders were established, and Francke's ideas were spread within and outside Europe. August Hermann Francke wanted nothing less than a "world change through personal change." Discover everything he set in motion through this.

10:00 am - 5:00 pm

The demo station by Rirkrit Tiravanija is a stage-like sculpture that invites people to „demonstrate“ something. Tiravanija understands the term in a double sense – as political protest or as a demonstration of something that someone particularly excels at or enjoys. Throughout the duration of the exhibition, the demo station offers daily space for public performances.

During the event, photo and video recordings may be made, in which you may appear. By attending, you consent to these recordings being used for the communication of the event or exhibition.

The promotion courses serve as an optimal training supplement alongside regular club training. For those whose training with their team in their club is not sufficient and would like to attend an additional training session, the promotion courses are just right. Currently, we offer the promotion courses exclusively for field players.

In our field player promotion courses, our licensed coaches focus on improving your ball control and ball movement under opponent pressure and time constraints. We teach you dribbling as an essential element to create and exploit numerical advantages, to create goal-scoring opportunities, or to free yourself from pressure situations and keep the ball securely within your own team. Dribbling, in all its facets, is increasingly important in today's modern football.

In addition to dribbling and ball control, we also teach you the technical elements of passing and first ball touch.

To properly apply all technical skills, we develop your spatial awareness and decision-making ability, so that you not only have technical but also tactical solutions at hand to effectively deal with even the most challenging situations.

Age restriction: Children between 6 and 14 years old
Participation fee per session: 15 Euros
Training times: Friday 15:00 - 16:30
Training location: Sportpark Höhenberg

For a promotion course to take place, a minimum of five children from the respective age groups of F/E/D youth is required!

During school holidays, promotion courses will not take place due to our holiday camps.

In the stars, humans have created their oldest artworks, thereby representing their cultures. Raoul Schrott gathers 17 starry skies from all continents: from the ancient Egyptians to the Aborigines, from China, India, and Tahiti, from the Inuit and the Tuareg. Our Great Bear was for the Maya a divine parrot, for the Incas the one-legged god of thunderstorms, for the Inuit a moose, and for the Arabs a bier. Raoul Schrott combines these star myths into a unique epic of human history.

Raoul Schrott engages in research and art with the great questions and creates literature from them. He spent a long time immersing himself in the stories of humanity, from the Epic of Gilgamesh to contemporary poetry, and published with Erste Erde. Epos 2016 an unprecedented work about the stories humans have always told to position themselves in the universe. With Atlas der Sternenhimmel, the continuation follows: the gaze into the sky. What do we project into this vastness? Whether he writes poetry, researches, writes, or speaks, Raoul Schrott finds poetry everywhere.

"Steglitz, we have a problem!"
How Berlin flew to Mars

By Frank Lüdecke and Sören Sieg

As a successor to Willy Brandt once said, a man named Kai Wegner: "Berlin belongs in the top 3 of the world!". Therefore:
Local visionaries from Berlin are now planning a major coup!
What Americans and Russians have failed at before, as well as Chinese and Indians, and most recently Elon Musk:
Under the leadership of a former BVG coordinator, Mars is to be settled!
The Berlinauts: Chosen by lottery. The rocket: With a heat pump. The goal: A Mars commune 1 without discrimination, without exploitation, and finally affordable housing! A bold project. In which, in the end, highly ambitious politicians will meet Berlin climate activists, extroverted artists, and philosophizing allotment gardeners. But foreign intelligence services will also be called into action. Will mastermind Dr. Franziska Giffey go down in history? And how will the Bavarians react to the considerations of the Berlin Senate to finance the 50 billion project costs through the financial equalization among the states?
The brand-new cabaret program of the STACHELSCHWEINE: Witty, mean, pointed, fast-paced, and musical.

Cast: Santina Maria Schrader, Heike Ostendorp, Robert F. Martin
