ProgramIs freedom just a dream? Is peace a utopia? Can hope alleviate misery? Can friendship end a war? Can love conquer hate?In search of a dream, driven by longing and hope, we embark on a journey. Somewhere, freedom must be found. On the high seas? In distant harbors? In a distant childhood? In true love? Somewhere, between homesickness and wanderlust, we want to live for it. And could die for it. For it is said that only where freedom is lived can peace prevail.The French singer Véronique Elling makes a strong musical statement with unforgettable masterpieces and newly discovered treasures by Aznavour, Barbara, Brel, Gréco, Montant, Moustaki, Piaf, Trenet… and some of her own compositions.Singing in French, Readings in German.“Véronique Elling shines in many ways.

Unpolitically Correct Music Cabaret Johannes KirchbergProgram The doomsday mood cannon Johannes Kirchberg wakes up one morning as always, and this time is sure: I want to have my problems. Do you too? Then you are exactly right in the brand-new program "I am against it" by and with Johannes Kirchberg.Be surprised by earworms that celebrate the small hooks and loops of life with great gestures. Laconic and laid-back, beautiful and beautifully wicked. Kirchberg's test-winning victory melodies sound, at the latest on the second listening, as if you've heard them before: Real hits, full of barbs and always with the motto: "As long as it’s difficult, it’s uphill!" Chansons that you can still whistle even after a breakup.You will hear good old songs that fit the good new era. And you will hear the good new songs that fit any time. Songs about summer, friendships, traveling, and dreaming. New songs, long unheard songs, unheard songs.A special program for a special time, a surprise program for those who don’t know Kirchberg and a best of for everyone else.Artists Johannes Kirchberg Texts: Tom Reichel

ProgramHamburg, today, the attic room of an old house. A suitcase, a bundle of dusty letters from the past. Letters, like rays of light from a time, in the apparent darkness of memory. From Hiddensee, Roter Sand, Hamburg, New York, Bornholm. And a suitcase full of time and stories. The new program by Johannes Kirchberg is about lighthouses, the keepers who served, history and stories, catastrophes and secrets. We travel with a lighthouse keeper into the past and from lighthouse to lighthouse.“…my beloved heart, I stand on the lighthouse of the enchanted island. I know now how birds feel and yet have no wings. My wings are flickering light, but not enough to fly to you. Therefore, I send these lines from a loving, lonely lighthouse keeper…“ (from a treasure trove of letters from the island)An evening of light, songs, love, and desire with Johannes Kirchberg. Light the fires so I can find you.ArtistsVocals & Music: Johannes Kirchberg – more… Lyrics: Erich Kästner, Mascha Kaléko, Tom Reichel, Robert, Louis Stevenson, Ringelnatz among others.
