„meins wird deins“ is a musical theater piece that explores the theme of sharing in various facets. Because sharing is not only about things, but also about ideas, experiences, and perspectives. And when we do it, we can also feel that sharing can be more than just giving up. Perhaps even a great gain.

In „meins wird deins“, a musician shares her sounds with us, a player shares her feelings, and a performer shares his view of the world. By sharing time, space, and experiences with our audience, a delicate, fulfilling, and completely shared togetherness emerges. With little language, but much more sound, movement, and visual worlds open up spaces for imagination.

With „meins wird deins“, we set a sign in a world where it is always about having more and being better, and we call upon everyone to engage with others and likewise invite others to engage with us and courageously take the other perspective, the other idea, the other place. And suddenly the world becomes big and wide, and togetherness becomes exciting and beautiful.

A karaoke comedy by Christian Kühn
Low German by Markus Weise
Direction: Inge Misegades-Kroll

Men are like teeth: First, you can hardly get them - and when you have them, they often cause trouble. Grit, Jennifer, and Pascaline come to this realization quicker than they would like. Jerome, on the other hand, after a broken engagement, has had enough of love - and of the world. He would rather hide in his car in the underground parking lot of a shopping center. When chance brings the four together on Saturday evening just before closing time, not only do completely different life concepts collide, but also longings, disappointments, and a lot of unvarnished truths. Amidst biting humor, witty dialogues, and surprisingly touching moments, they laugh, argue, and console each other. And in the end, it becomes clear: no matter how different they seem - in their hearts, they might all share the same wishes... and the same frustrations.

Admission: 3:15 PM

Alin Coen: You Mean the World to Me
A glow. A hug. Alin Coen is back on a journey of sound, back with new songs and an album – a declaration of love that begins with the title: “You Mean the World to Me”
Mindfulness and healing, closeness and responsibility, music that penetrates from the ear directly to the heart. The song poet Alin Coen sings about the fine threads that connect people – parents and children, lovers and friends. And she does not shy away from the darker notes: disappointment, farewell, and doubt find their place. Yet every song ultimately holds sparks of light. With touching openness, the new songs tell in both the very small and the very large about the beginning of life. From the birth of a child to the birth of the universe.
Alin Coen reaches for the stars. “Everything begins in the universe” and “Moon and Earth” give the album galactic dimensions. Because listening to the night sky means daring to embrace the new. The universe becomes a dream destination for new beginnings and change – for the courage to leave boundaries behind and make a fresh start. This poetic vastness stands in exciting contrast to the gentle, immediate warmth of the other songs, which stay close to the ground, to the heart of the everyday.
Her words. Her world. Her music.
Thus, facets of “You Mean the World to Me” come together as a whole. Sometimes whispering and fragile, sometimes narrative and winking, sometimes melodically playful. Every line breathes her unmistakable mix of vulnerability and strength. The beauty is that you can feel: here sings a person who struggles with the world. Like you and me! But at the same time embraces it firmly. Let’s do that too!
Alin Coen's music is a sounding charging station for positivity. A world full of closeness, where every word matters and every silence speaks. When you experience Alin Coen with her warm voice and acoustic guitar, an atmosphere of security is created instantly. On eye level. In dialogue. A shared journey through emotions and melodies unfolds. If only in life, like when listening to Alin Coen, it were always clear that vulnerability is not a weakness but an invitation to grow together.
Now Alin Coen is going on tour with “You Mean the World to Me”: In selected concert venues and theaters, she will bring the magic of her album to stages across Germany. Accompanied by her empathetic band, she builds on the magic of past concerts and simultaneously opens a new significant chapter. She invites you to experience this sound journey live – a journey that finds its radiant climax with the release of the new album “You Mean the World to Me.”

Lizz Wright

From the fascinating debut SALT to her grand production SHADOW: Such a complete album unfortunately no longer comes from Alicia Keys, such fantastic music sadly could not be recorded by Ella Fitzgerald.

Dear guests: We are very pleased to once again offer you international music world-class. The sensational, celebrated concert of Lizz Wright & Band here in the Kulturetage in the fall of 2025 was already sold out six months in advance. The ticket pre-sale for fall 2026 has started!

This voice goes under the skin; it doesn't get any better than this. Here comes a strong, authentic artist and one of the certainly greatest voices and songwriters from the USA to the small Kulturetage.

The exceptional singer with the velvet-dark upper voice from the US East Coast basks in her songs richly in Southern sunshine – and offers gospel even for atheists. Like her male counterpart Gregory Porter, she appreciates jazz-trained musicians, but she is a classically melodic songwriter who comes from blues, folk, and gospel: "Who knows," says Lizz Wright with this gentle yet rich smile, "maybe one day I'll record a jazz album again."

Completely relaxed, the young lady from Georgia now also performs live in front of her audience, where she liked to sneak in barefoot and with a humble demeanor at the beginning of her career – almost as if she wanted to disturb no one at all. Today, her stage presence is confident even at the largest jazz festivals in the world, but never diva-like.

Her brilliant songs are like her sympathetic appearance: full of warmth and incredibly deep. One can fall into the music of Lizz Wright – or stand up straight because of it. She sometimes leaves one speechless – and even more often simply makes one happy.

“A soft and dark alto voice – with qualities that one could associate with bourbon aged in barrels or soft leather.” (New York Times)

“Nothing less than electrifying how she blends her roots in gospel music with influences from jazz, folk, singer-songwriter pop, rhythm and blues, and neo-soul.” (Deutschlandfunk Kultur)

“One cannot escape this voice.” (Stereoplay)

“No matter what music genre it is: Lizz Wright pours her heart and soul into her tracks. Hopefully, we will hear much, much more from this great artist.” (The Villages Daily)

It has been a few years since the Fehntjer Shanty-Chor Augustfehn, founded in 1988, was a guest in the Wandelhalle. Now it is time again; the 35 shanty men, four ladies on accordion, and a guitarist want to present shanties and maritime songs to the audience in the spa town of Bad Zwischenahn. As in previous years, they know how to captivate their audience with songs about the sea and a cheerful moderation.
