Alice is celebrating her birthday. Suddenly, the real world disappears, and Alice leaves the here and now behind. Kidnapped by a harried white rabbit, she plunges into a strange world, a fantastical one. Here, everything is upside down. Alice grows so tall that she can no longer fit through any door; then she shrinks so small that she can't reach any doorknob. Transformed, she enters Wonderland, encounters a smoking caterpillar, and swims through a sea of ​​tears. She meets the Cheshire Cat, which bears no resemblance to a purring pet. She rests at a peculiar, very British tea party and finally arrives at the court of the Queen of Hearts, who is less warm and welcoming than her name suggests. First, Alice is asked to play croquet with her, then she witnesses the Queen's anger over a stolen cake. Before the story within the story concludes with a court verdict, Alice awakens back in the present, in the real world. Alice is celebrating her birthday. Also described as literary nonsense, the novel by Charles Ludwige Dodgson (pseudonym: Lewis Carroll) offers a wealth of metaphors and game scenarios.

nt-Saal

Europagymnasium "Walther Rathenau"

Theater Eisleben

Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium Zeitz

The celebrated star singer Sylva Varescu and the construction magnate's son Edwin are a couple who shouldn't be together. Their class prejudices, societal expectations, and fear of scandal are too great. But amidst grand staircases, waltzes, and champagne-fueled revelry, a dance on the edge of a volcano begins: full of joie de vivre, contradictions, and melancholy.

The Csárdás Princess

Borisav Stanković's novel "Impure Blood" is one of the most important works of Serbian literature – yet it remains largely unknown in German-speaking countries. This impressive new production brings the powerful drama to the stage and makes it accessible to a new audience.

Impure blood

Grab your favorite pillow, your coziest blanket or mattress and put on your softest pajamas - with the right music and a dreamy hall, we'll end the day together. We look forward to seeing you in your pajamas!
