Giorgi Gigashvili / Nikala Zubiashvili

It‘s time to get serious! The message of this ProArte X concert title is quite clear. It leaves us in no doubt that whatever we can expect from this evening’s artists, it is going to be »Serious Music«. Regardless of how we wish to interpret this message, we can be sure that the artists themselves take their music very seriously. Giorgi Gigashvili is a highly versatile pianist who will be joined by singer Nikala Zubiashvili. Known for his flexibility as a live electronics artist, Nikala is also one of the most exciting young talents on the Georgian music scene. Gigashvili is returning to the Elbphilharmonie after his success last season in our ProArte series of concerts for upcoming pianists. The pair perform artfully and with obvious enjoyment as their musical experimentation takes them from Beethoven to Jazz and from Ravel to Hip-Hop.

Göksu Kunak: Suspension

The physical demolition itself becomes the monumental stage for the second BIG MOMENT, opening a new chapter in Kampnagel’s performance history. As part of the first construction phase, Hall k1 will be restored to its original scale. Partition walls are removed, exposing the site’s historical layers – from its industrial past and four decades of performance history to its future transformation. The former black-box theatre becomes a daylight-filled hall for experimental arts with direct access to the garden. As rigid spatial boundaries are dismantled, the architecture becomes newly accessible, negotiating the deconstruction of barriers at the very moment of their physical collapse. The construction site provides a striking setting for Berlin-based artist Göksu Kunak, who, during a residency, transforms this moment of rupture into a choreographic and sonic intervention. Under the working title SUSPENSION the building site becomes a contemporary dispositif in which bodies, labour and desire continuously produce one another. Using perforation – the cutting, opening and occupying of space – as an artistic method, Kunak temporarily disempowers architecture to reveal new social relations. Through evocative imagery and a precise sensitivity to material encounters, the erotic potential of the construction site is translated into a fragile yet monumental aesthetic. Demolition thus becomes a powerful metaphor for the deconstruction of masculinity.

Große Gefühle. Probe mit Publikum (ab 8 Jahre)

Everyone is invited to experience firsthand how the theater of emotions transforms when you not only watch but also participate. "Great Emotions" is not a traditional theatrical performance, but a playful gathering offering genuine insights.

Theater is often about sharing emotions. When this happens, we're no longer alone with our feelings—others empathize with us. Theater offers many ways and even a few tricks to help us share emotions. But to be honest, despite all the tools and tricks, we never really know what will happen. Because ultimately, every feeling and every moment in the theater is unique. And that's precisely what makes it so exciting.

In this rehearsal with an audience, children suggest feelings they would like to share in the theater, and the team on stage gives their all to make that happen. In doing so, we explore questions about the connection between feelings and theater: What happens to feelings when we share them? Can feelings be invented? What role do music, lighting, and acting play?
We critically examine old ideas embedded in difficult words like "catharsis" or "agitation": Do we need to be cleansed of feelings? Should theater balance feelings or rather intensify them?

In this workshop, we encounter sad adults, angry children, classic dramas, and ultimately explore what feelings actually have to do with animals. Everyone is invited to experience firsthand how the theater of emotions transforms when you not only watch but also participate. "Big Feelings" isn't a traditional theatrical performance, but a playful gathering offering genuine insights. This workshop is for people aged 8 and up—wild, shy, or loud—and asks: How do children feel today? What does theater do to our feelings? And what do we do with them?

By and with: Sibylle Peters, Christopher Weymann, Sarife Afonso, Göktug Engel, Alexandra Owusu, Cornelia May, Menja Radke, Margaux Weiß and classes 4 a, b, c, d and e of the Rahewinkel primary school.

Funded by the Culture & School project fund.

Guided tour: Yalda Afsah – Temper

Whether it be spiritual ceremonies, seasonal festivities or rituals of initiation and transition – customs and rites count among humanity’s oldest collective practices. They foster temporary communities, help structure emotions and enable forms of belonging that often defy rational explanation. At the same time, they can be closely connected to marginalization, disciplinary power and violence. In her latest series of works, the German-Iranian artist Yalda Afsah navigates precisely within this area of tension. She explores rituals and their role as social and physical choreographies, in the scope of which universal questions of power, identity and community come to the fore. In her solo exhibition at the Kunsthaus Hamburg, she presents the films JARRAMPLAS (2024), PAN (2026) and HEAT (2026) together for the first time.

During a guided tour of the exhibition, participants will gain exclusive insights into the development of the exhibition and learn more about Yalda Afsah’s artistic practice and the themes explored in her work. Visitors are warmly invited to share their own impressions, questions and reflections, and to discover different perspectives on the films together.

Gustav Mahler: Auferstehen

An evening exploring light, memory, and the ultimate question. Blending elements of a concert, a reading, a show, and a musical reinterpretation, this year-end event not only performs Gustav Mahler’s »Resurrection Symphony« but also brings it into the present. Structured like a play or a film, with the works serving as chapters in a larger narrative: from the gentle »Urlicht« to Edvard Moritz’s »Nachtmusik« and on to the overwhelming finale of Mahler’s Second Symphony.
