Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

"El Beneficiadero" - dokumentarisches Theaterstück

After her father’s murder, an actress embarks on a journey toward inner peace, reflected in the art of coffee processing. On stage, the coffee process becomes a powerful metaphor for transformation: just as the bean must be processed to reveal its finest flavor, the soul also needs to be treated, washed, and renewed to find inner peace. On this journey, familial love—and especially the strength of her mother—becomes her guide and support, transforming pain into hope. A play about resilience, memory, and the power to believe again in life and in peace.

A fox on the fairway

by Ken Ludwig

directed by Dave Earl

Witty dialogue, quirky characters, and the zany energy of American screwball comedies: From May 20 to 30, the Hamburg Players present “A Fox on the Fairway,” a fast-paced farce by American playwright Ken Ludwig, at the Theater an der Marschnerstraße.

Every year the Quail Valley Country Club takes on their rival, Crouching Squirrel, in a tournament – but this year, there is more at stake than just the trophy. Henry Bingham bets his life savings and his wife’s antique shop against his rival Dickie. Luckily, he can rely on his new assistant Justin, a golf prodigy, to win the day. But when Justin finds out his fiancée Louise has accidentally flushed his grandmother’s wedding ring down the toilet, his game falls apart. Will the frantic attempts to keep him focused save the day? Will Dickie keep the trophy? Or does Quail Valley have a secret weapon to outfox him?

A Secret Revealed, Praise The Plague

A Secret Revealed from Würzburg have been blending post-metal with influences from black metal, hardcore and sludge for over a decade. Massive walls of guitar, melancholic melodies and intense screams alternate with quiet, almost fragile moments. The band know how to build tension slowly and let their songs build up to emotional climaxes. They’re also bringing with them their new album, “The Ruin I Summoned Forth”, which is due for release on 16 October and whose new tracks unfold their full intensity when performed live. Anyone who appreciates bands such as Downfall of Gaia, Der Weg einer Freiheit or King Apathy will immediately feel at home here.

Praise the Plague from Berlin create a sound that fuses black metal, doom and sludge into a dark, monumental soundscape. Frantic blast beats meet crushing riffs, fragile melodies meet unbridled intensity. The songs deal with personal abysses, social pressure and the search for hope amidst the darkness – uncompromising, honest and emotional. With their latest album, *Suffocating in the Current of Time*, they have once again impressively developed their atmospheric style.

Abeer Nehme

She is one of Lebanon’s most prominent artists: Abeer Nehme. With her powerful voice, the singer from Tannourine El Tahta takes the stage in Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall as part of the »Lebanon« festival, taking audiences on a musical journey through the cultures of the Middle East. Singing in multiple languages, from Arabic and Aramaic to Armenian, she tells stories of love, homeland and new beginnings. Supported by a 16-piece ensemble and four singers from Lebanon, Syria and Europe, Nehme moves effortlessly between Arabic classical traditions and Western modernity: classical songs alternate with contemporary arrangements, traditional melodies meet orchestral power, and intimate moments unfold alongside sweeping, dramatic soundscapes.
