When a pilot is forced to make an emergency landing in the middle of the Sahara, he is astonished to find a little prince approaching him and asking him to draw a sheep. It quickly becomes clear that the little prince comes from a distant planet. He left after a quarrel with a rose and has been traveling through space ever since. He meets all sorts of inhabitants of other planets and learns about their longings, but feels like a stranger everywhere he goes. After a touching encounter with a fox who reveals a secret to him, it is time for the little prince to return home: to his planet with its three volcanoes and the rose he loves.

Human or monster? In Mary Shelley's 1818 novel, the young scientist Victor Frankenstein pursues an ambitious goal: he assembles a human being from various body parts and attempts to bring it to life. The result of his experiment, however, is decidedly ambivalent. When he finally comes face to face with his "creation," he is overcome with horror and flees from his own creation. Is it a demonic monster, born of hubris and obsessive scientific curiosity? Or is this being, brought into the world without its own intervention, also a vulnerable creature, yearning for love, affection, and friendship?

In a village on the Cornish coast, shipwrecks during storms are considered divine gifts to be plundered. But there seems to be a traitor, warning ships offshore with beacons. Whoever it is must die.

The Wreckers

Georges and Albin have been a couple for decades. Georges runs the drag club "La Cage aux Folles," where Albin, as the dazzling drag queen Zaza, enchants audiences night after night. Together, they raised Georges' son, Jean-Michel. Now he wants to marry Anne, the daughter of an arch-conservative politician who has the closure of all clubs on his agenda! The two families are to meet at a dinner party. Fun and disaster are guaranteed when different lifestyles and emotional worlds collide. And, let's just say this: both families have their secrets and quirks. The themes of "love," "tolerance," and "acceptance" are as relevant today as they were at the Broadway premiere forty years ago, because we still don't live in a world where everyone can be whoever and however they want to be.

Safa and Aisha are best friends. The two Pakistani-British women from London's East End have known each other for what feels like forever. But now, at 21, they are about to enter the workforce, and their paths diverge for the first time: While Aisha starts as a teaching assistant at her old school and becomes increasingly interested in her roots, Safa begins working as a marketing assistant at a trendy advertising agency and adapts more and more to her new upper-class colleagues in terms of language, clothing, and behavior. After a terrorist attack, both women suddenly find themselves under suspicion because of their Muslim heritage. The question of assimilating into mainstream society or remaining true to their own roots becomes increasingly pressing – and their friendship is put to a severe test.

Friends Bérenger and Jean are chatting on a café terrace one Sunday afternoon when suddenly a rhinoceros charges across the square. While everyone present discusses the incident in astonishment and horror, only Bérenger remains unmoved. The next day at the office, the event is hotly debated – until Madame Boeuf bursts in, delivers her husband's sick note, and breathlessly reports that a rhinoceros followed her. Soon after, it rushes up the stairs and is identified by Madame Boeuf as her husband. Gradually, more and more inhabitants of the provincial town transform into angry pachyderms. And suddenly, they are in the majority. Anyone who wants to belong also transforms – "one has to move with the times, after all."

Surrounded by printed letters yet to be discovered, artists and other staff members of the State Theatre present excerpts from drama, literature, and feuilletons in various constellations at the award-winning Detmold bookstore "Kafka & Co.", in spoken, sung, and sung form. Alternately moderated by members of the State Theatre, special attention is paid to the otherwise almost inaudible overtones, and bridges are built between art and everyday life. Deep dives into the subtexts that form the foundation for the interpretation of the texts underpin this literary and intellectual feast for the ears

Sammy's emotions are in turmoil: in his head, his gut, his heart, everywhere. One minute everything's fine, the next, dark clouds of despair gather completely unpredictably. Sometimes Sammy feels everything at once, and sometimes nothing at all—it's maddening! The culprit is an inexplicable feeling that's been a part of Sammy's life for some time now. It comes from the Kingdom of Feelings, the place where all feelings originate and are assigned to their appropriate people. There are the straightforward feelings, like love, which, along with its sister, joy, ensures well-being in the realm. Rather unpopular, but nonetheless powerful adversaries, are their colleagues anger and fear. Occasionally, inexplicable feelings also arise in the kingdom. These are necessary for people going through phases of emotional turmoil, and Sammy is currently experiencing one such phase: puberty.

Sinalco tastes great – and has for 120 years! Germany's first fizzy lemonade was once more famous than Coca-Cola. But the yellow fizzy drink from Detmold is much more than just a fruity sip from its distinctive bottle: Sinalco is a piece of German history.

Happiness is an orange

In "The Noise of Life," Jörg Hartmann tells his story and those of his parents and grandparents in a captivating way. It is a declaration of love for the power of family—and for the Ruhr region. Whether it's about the situation of his deaf grandparents during the Nazi era, the wisdom of his mother, who briefly ran a chip shop, his father's dementia (he was a lathe operator and passionate handball player), the many quirky experiences in his extended family, or key encounters he had as an actor—Hartmann always maintains the balance between tragedy and comedy.
