A group of young people today are firmly convinced of this. But swing was banned in Nazi Germany, as were youth groups outside of the Hitler Youth and the League of German Girls. The swing kids, or swingers, as they called themselves, were not impressed by this. They strove for individuality and self-determination. Just like the "Edelweiss Pirates" in the Rhineland and the "Leipzig Mobs," they were persecuted and severely punished for this.

Swing Again

Jugendclubhaus Nordhausen

After observing a strange light phenomenon in the night sky, a group of teenagers wake up the next morning with supernatural abilities. Suddenly they are able to hear other people's thoughts, speak any language they want or stop time. And as a group they now have to ask themselves the question: do we keep our differences a secret, or do we go public? Would we become rich and famous, or would people be afraid of us and reject us as "freaks" if we revealed ourselves? While the group's cohesion begins to crumble over this conflict, a threat also appears from outside: The "Authority for Supernatural Affairs" has taken on the matter and is now after the teenagers.

Horizon

"Love is blind," is what is usually said. In Peter I. Tchaikovsky's last opera, "Iolanta," it is different: it is only love that makes the title heroine see. The young woman, daughter of the Provençal king René, has always been blind. But she knows nothing about it. In order to supposedly protect her, those around her keep this from her, as well as the fact that she is a princess. It is only a stranger who rescues her from her paradisiacal world of illusion: the Burgundian knight Vaudémont reveals to Iolanta that she is blind, thus initiating her healing process, at the end of which, through the power of love and thanks to her own strong will, she can finally see.
