Jonas Grätzer (Abschlusskonzert MA)

Das Ensemble rund um den Masterstudenten Jonas Grätzer bewegt sich in einem musikalischen Spannungsfeld: Die Eigenkompositionen eröffnen mal kraftvoll und treibend, mal transparent und fragil, neue Perspektive auf das Zusammenspiel der vier Persönlichkeiten. Im Zentrum steht der kollektive Prozess: Zuhören, Reagieren, Raum geben. Die Musik entfaltet sich im Moment als offener Dialog, der moderne Jazzästhetik mit klanglicher Weite und improvisatorischem Feingefühl verbindet.

Juli Zeh

Why is it that of all people, the renowned author and constitutional judge Juli Zeh has taken an interest in a tabloid-ready loverboy story? And what makes this case interesting far beyond its scandalous core? And why are we so interested in this book? Because the public—like the author Juli Zeh—is interested in the story behind the story, and in the question of whether court proceedings and/or their media coverage are capable of bringing one of the highest goods, the truth, to light. After all, we are all attached to the idea that there must be such a thing as truth to serve as a compass in life.

The event will be held in German.

The case constructed by Juli Zeh is as straightforward as it is simple: a married, successful businesswoman is apprehended with a pistol and suspected of having killed her employee—twenty-five years her junior—and alleged lover: suspected murder. The case ends up before the Hamburg Regional Court and develops into a media event that divides the public: Aha, once in positions of power, do women act just as toxically as men?

The legal proceedings and the accompanying media narrative, which are supposed to serve the search for truth, threaten to turn into their opposite—distorting and obscuring the truth.

But what happens to our ethical compass if the truth does not come to light? What happens when the media, as the fourth estate, undermine the judiciary, conduct their own search for truth, but in reality merely manipulate the very truth they hope to uncover? In this way, the courtroom drama becomes a mirror of a society that, in times of fake news, is struggling with its relationship to truth—with that non-negotiable core.

Kartoffelschmaus

Alsterdorf celebrates Thanksgiving. The Alsterdorf market becomes a meeting place for the whole family at the traditional potato feast hosted by the Alsterdorf Protestant Foundation. From 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., there's plenty to discover, try, and of course, enjoy.

The potato festival begins at 11 a.m. with an open-air harvest thanksgiving service in the market square. The service, which includes Holy Communion, will be supported by an induction loop for the hearing impaired.

Afterwards, a colorful program awaits visitors of all ages. In addition to various activities centered around autumn and harvest festivals, there will be plenty of delicious treats. From potato pancakes and potato soup to wild boar sausage, wild boar burgers, and sweet potato fries, to waffles and ice cream, there's something for everyone.

There's plenty of fun and games too. The straw bale castle invites little and big rascals to romp around. There's also lots to do, from face painting and the roller slide to making campfire bread.

KOHKS | 2 MATERIALS 1 NAME, HAMBURG'S ENERGY
wirvier collective (Hamburg), Colectivo Teatral Luz de Luna (Bogotá)

Club Energía invites you on an all-inclusive trip. Through the Port of Hamburg to the El Cerrejón coal mine in La Guajira, northern Colombia. Across Colombia's coca plantations and finally into the vibrant nightlife of a major German city in summer. Cocaine, coal, capital. How do you get fired up?

Millions of tons of coal leave northern Colombia on large ships to supply Germany's coal-fired power plants with energy. Thousands of Hamburg residents snort what Colombian farmers have produced for them daily: coke. Two energy kicks, one name.

A performative harbor tour awaits you, taking you along retraced coke routes to the coal port, ultimately leading you to the depths of scenic bass tones in the Hafenklang club. Global dependencies, the sacred coca plant, indigenous culture, colonization and displacement, as well as crime and activism. A story of a failed coal phase-out and energetic parties in the tension between activism and hedonism.

Kristina Lunz / Düzen Tekkal

A call for a radical rethink in politics and society. The Collien Fernandes case has shaken Germany – and at the same time laid bare, in all its brutality, just how commonplace male violence against women is: online and offline, physical, psychological, in public and in private. It has also shown how inadequately the German legal system protects affected women, and just how wide the gap between public outrage and political action still is.

Please note: The event will be held in German.

Entrepreneurs, authors and activists Kristina Lunz and Düzen Tekkal refuse to accept this. Together with politician Ricarda Lang, they launched the nationwide campaign »In Solidarity with Collien Fernandes«, which has attracted widespread attention and is supported by more than 250 women from the worlds of politics, culture, the media, business and civil society. The resulting petition sets out ten specific demands against male and digital violence – and mobilised hundreds of thousands of supporters within a very short space of time. In their book »Who gave you permission to hate women so much?«, Lunz and Tekkal show that violence against women is not a marginal issue, an isolated incident or a private tragedy, but a structural problem.

Songs about being human. Provocative and thought-provoking, the Hamburg-based singer-songwriter Leonore Lilja brings her convictions to the stage.

Pop meets classical music, singer-songwriter meets cabaret – direct, poetic, and

full of energy.

At the piano, Leonore sings about money, greed, and justice. With songs

like "Work Makes You Awesome," she satirically puts her finger on the open wounds of society.

Biting lyrics, emotional ballads, and humor are reminiscent of Danger Dan,

Aurora, Dota Kehr, or Georg Kreisler.

Influenced by classical piano music from her childhood, Leonore has been writing her own songs since she was 15 and produces all her music herself.

Leonore sings about the things for which words are sought. With humor, honesty, and hope.
