Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Harry Potter und das verwunschene Kind

Alohomora! The new play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" opens up to you. The Broadway-acclaimed play is now also thrilling at Hamburg's Theater am Großmarkt. Experience breathtaking magic at "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," "the most spectacular show ever seen in a theater" (Süddeutsche Zeitung). The eighth story in the Harry Potter saga is the only one you can only experience live at the Theater am Großmarkt in Hamburg.

There's a lot of magic going on in the world of Harry Potter, and this translates to the stage of the performance. With surprising effects and impressive scenery, the audience is amazed: Wasn't there real magic at work?

The play is musically accompanied by four suites, each of which characterizes one of the plays' acts. Grammy and Ivor Novello Award winner Imogen Heap created the music specifically for HARRY POTTER and the Cursed Child.

Nineteen years after the events at Hogwarts made famous by the books and films, Harry Potter is a 37-year-old father of three and works in the Law Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic. The youngest son, Albus Severus, follows in the awed footsteps of his father, who once won the heroic battle against Lord Voldemort, at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry Potter's past keeps catching up with him, as his son, of all people, befriends the son of his former archenemy, Draco Malfoy. In a thrilling twist, Albus steals a Time-Turner against Harry Potter's wishes, merging the past with the present. The country's long-fought peace is in jeopardy, and Harry Potter's adventure continues with plenty of magic, numerous dark spells, and ultimately the hope that everything will turn out for the best.

Hörbar: EMERGE / Louis d’Heudières

Louis d’Heudières will play new material from an upcoming album for harps, field recordings, synthesis and autotuned voice.

Louis d’Heudières is a sound artist, composer and researcher based in Hamburg. Spanning live performance, installation and writing, their work speculatively (re)imagines pasts, presents and futures of human and non-human music-making. It is characterised by stream-of-consciousness descriptions of recorded sound; pseudo-intellectual ramblings underpinned by hobbling instrumental pulses; speakers talking to floors; transcendental climaxes squeezed through MIDI timbres; paranoid associations between musical details and religious hegemonies; decadent rituals pairing Wagnerian harmony with fine cheese.

EMERGE will present his new album "leere" consisting of field-recordings of an abandoned mall. The field-recordings are re-worked and the set is played partly improvised using all the original samples, which are looped, mixed together and treated with effects.

Sascha Stadlmeier (b. 1977) has been releasing electroacoustic music with his project EMERGE on international labels such as Drone Records, Tâalem, aufabwegen and Frozen Light since 2001. He is a composer working at the intersections of musique concrète, drone, and noise. Collaborations with other musicians from a very wide range of styles form an important part of his work. He has been touring Europe extensively and his music has been presented at many international festivals. While being a prolific composer and performer, Stadlmeier has also created various sound installations and a radiophonic composition for West German Radio's renowned Studio of Acoustic Art.

I feel it all

The group show features works by Josef Bauer, Tim Hardy, Angelique Heidler, Martin Laborde, Luna Mahoux, Marietta Mavrokordatou, Troy Montez Mitchie, Nicolai Olesen und Jasia Rabiej, Matt Gess with Désirée Nakouzi De Monte, and Andrea Parenti of Collezione Nancy Delroi. The photographic image serves as a point of departure towards various visual pathways and artistic methods. Addressing forms such as fashion photography as well as archival materials, the assumed veracity of photography splits into layers of fantasy, where memory is indistinguishable from desire, and absence morphs into emotional proximity.

The show is part of chess club’s programme as Project space-in-residence at the Kunstverein in Hamburg.
