A piece of human history exemplified by a suburban family that, along with their house staff, stands firm against crises and catastrophes through the millennia. In confrontation with the onset of the Ice Age, later a flood, and finally a world war, the Antrobus family, together with their maid Sabina, attempts to secure their survival. Amid the freezing pets in the front yard – a mammoth and a dinosaur – as well as the eternal complaints of the children Gladys and Henry at the breakfast table, an absurd, comedic, and profoundly human spectacle unfolds.

It is a celebration of the will to survive: sometimes it is the invention of the wheel that saves them, sometimes the wisdom of old books, sometimes simply a stroke of luck. Thus, this family manages, more or less narrowly, but always repeatedly, to come through. They can survive even the greatest misfortunes relatively unscathed. Cheerfully they progress with the human family Antrobus, who must handle not only life-threatening challenges but also inner-family conflicts – just like in real life.

Through many breaks in the form of the play, reflections on theater, and a whimsical mixing of epochs, this satirical parable leaves much room for comments, self-observation, relevance, and a great deal of absurd humor.

Love ignites wars and establishes peace, inspires works of art and determines life paths. But what exactly does it mean to love? Is it a feeling, a decision, or just a fleeting moment? Our concepts of love change over time. While earlier generations were often guided by societal conventions, love today seems freer than ever. Romantic love is no longer the only form that shapes our lives. Digital closeness replaces physical distance, polyamorous relationships challenge classical models. Yet in all these changes, love remains essentially what it has always been: a deep connection between people, full of longing, devotion, and sometimes also pain. Liebesgeflechte addresses these multifaceted aspects of love. Two choreographers explore in a joint dance evening how love manifests, changes, and challenges – in the past, present, and future. Through poetic images, Alba Castillo and Francesca Frassinelli tell of love: romantic and passionate, familiar and fleeting, desperate and hopeful. An evening that makes love visible in all its forms – and poses the question of how we want to love today and tomorrow.

Since spring 2011, the group THE GREGORIAN VOICES has been on tour in Europe. Under the artistic direction of Oleksiy Semenchuk, the eight exceptional Ukrainian soloists present the musical tradition of Gregorian chant stylishly.

Dressed in traditional monk robes, the singers create a mystical atmosphere that takes the audience on a time travel through the world of sacred music of the Middle Ages - a sound world without temporal, religious, and linguistic boundaries!
Experience a varied concert with a mix of Gregorian chants, Orthodox church music, and songs and madrigals from the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
With its vocal power and many solo passages, the choir and its soloists demonstrate how Gregorian chant can sound today: authentic yet contemporary.

In the second part of the concert, classics of pop music will be performed, including "Ameno" by ERA, "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban, "Knocking on Heaven's Door" by Bob Dylan, "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen, "Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel, "Sailing" by Rod Stewart, which have been newly arranged in the style of Gregorian singing.

Let yourself be captivated by the fascinating voices of the soloists and the moving choral singing: the Middle Ages meets the here and now.

THE GREGORIAN VOICES offer you a breathtaking concert and an unparalleled auditory pleasure.

Doors open at 6:30 PM

It is one of those fateful moments that change everything: When a merchant picks a rose on his journey, he incurs the wrath of a fearsome beast. To make amends for the theft of the rose, the beast demands his life. In his despair, the merchant sees no way out, but his daughter Belle makes a brave decision. She wants to go to the beast in his place.

However, she is not met with a dungeon, but – to her surprise – a warm welcome. Belle meets the quirky, enchanted servants of the beast, who ensure that her time in the castle is not boring. And the beast turns out to be a good friend, with whom she can read books and dance. Or is there perhaps more? When the beast finally asks her to become his wife, Belle declines – for who could love such an ugly monster? Despite his sorrow, the beast lets her go so she can visit her father. Hardly back home, a handsome suitor stands at the door asking for Belle's hand. But Belle can only think of the beast. Should she return to him?

A touching fairy tale about inner beauty and the value of friendship and acceptance. The strong beauty and the sensitive beast show that happiness can only be found if one listens to their heart.

As a little boy, I sang in the Thomanerchor
Songs to people in the church
My teacher was Johann Sebastian Bach
Mostly, it was about Jesus
(Hallelujah)

On KOMPASS, the new album by Prinzen frontman Sebastian Krumbiegel, once again, it’s not about Jesus. Instead, it's about Elon Musk's tax return, the little prince, that 2+2=5, why one should not be afraid despite everything and should rather dream of a better world, and it’s about music. More music.
By the way: Sebastian Krumbiegel performed almost 70 shows in the last 12 months, and he wrote nearly 70 songs in the same period. He tested the songs for their heart and soul, rearranged, discarded, created. The result: His new album KOMPASS.
As one can see, Sebastian Krumbiegel loves to write songs and perform live. And he loves not only to entertain his audience before, during, and after the shows but also to engage in conversation with them. Gradually, it became clear in his talks that this very audience was yearning for positive songs in our hard times. In this sense, the highly valued audience was the KOMPASS for the song selection of the present album. KOMPASS contains 14 songs in which the glass is fundamentally half full, the grass is fundamentally green, and the light at the end of the tunnel is fundamentally not from an oncoming locomotive. Krumbiegel himself also had, as he says, no desire for sad songs. However, anyone who thinks the artist would drift into shallow waters is mistaken: Krumbiegel manages, like few others, the balancing act between entertainment and reflection, between criticism and optimism.
Sebastian Krumbiegel is someone who believes. He believes in the power of art, in the possibility of change for the better, and his songs are exactly about this belief. He reminds us not to forget the dream of a different, more harmonious world. And he succeeds without kitsch. Instead, with humor, a lot of humor.
Musically, KOMPASS is also an optimistic album, an optimistic album, but without pretenses.

As one expects from Sebastian Krumbiegel, the new songs shine with wonderful melodies, bold harmonies, and gigantic choirs. Sebastian Krumbiegel is someone who can sing and play, someone who learned from the greats (Bach, Beatles, Queen), and he is someone who manages to make the heavy artistically light.
KOMPASS was created over the last year with the help of friendly musicians.
KOMPASS is a musical silver lining on the horizon. KOMPASS will be released on March 27, 2026, on GROßE FREIHEIT.

STOPPOK and BAND
RUND-Reise – die Band-Tour 2026
Main thing RUND: STOPPOK has a birthday and celebrates on the stages of the country. Trips form. This "RUND-Reise" even more so. STOPPOK, the witty seismograph of our country, has a round birthday in 2026, turning 70. That’s too beautiful not to be celebrated. On a "RUND-Reise" through the republic, on the live stages of the country. Since always, STOPPOK's natural habitat and emotional territory. So, let’s dive into the jubilee tours with edges and corners, with heart and brain, with a new album and old friends. The text-singing-guitar icon is obviously in the best birthday mood.
For 50 years, STOPPOK has been a flagship model of an entire guild, a unique entertainer from the fresh department of vital songwriter art, an independent spirit on "solid ground", who decided early on between "money or life", an outstanding lyricist full of wordplay, wisdom, and pointed poetry. The weather prophet of value change shines as a unique specimen. There can be no talk of declining strength and ideas. One indication: The last two albums, "Jubel" and "Teufelsküche", landed in the Top Five of the Media Control Charts.
STOPPOK is a singer and musician, highly valued by esteemed colleagues, who combines loose lips with astounding craftsmanship (he masters his string instruments with a highly personal touch). Fed by folk, blues, and rock'n'roll, the STOPPOK sound develops energy and individuality. This idea of grooving emotional outbursts is carried by his well-rehearsed band: Reggie Worthy on bass, Leo Lazar on drums, and Sebel on keys and guitar are consequently travel companions on the "RUND-Reise" (October 21, 2026, to November 15). Fitting for a new song from the album to be released for the tour: "The longer we go together, the better we will understand each other". STOPPOK stays persistent, joyful, and whimsical. Surprises us with special live evenings, where spontaneity, mockery, and soul massage triumph. Nothing settles for seventy. What luck!
