Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Entrissene Welten

"Torn Worlds – Kaleidoscope of Memories 1952-2022," drawing on the biographical experiences of director and author Franziska Jakobi and enriched with the experiences of other individuals from Germany, Ukraine, and Russia, brings to the stage formative stories of three generations in the post-Soviet space: forced resettlements in East Germany in the 1950s and 60s, the upheaval of the 1990s, and the war in Ukraine today. Originally conceived as a three-person play in 2023, this new solo version approaches the material with fresh perspectives, framing personal experiences with historical facts and focusing primarily on the relationship between generations in the context of homeland and its loss under Soviet and Russian politics. A theatrical-performative picture of East-West history since 1952 emerges, with different timelines nested within each other, interconnected, yet each with its own personal touch – just like in a kaleidoscope, like in a whirlpool of memories.

Familienführung - Der Hafen für Kinder

Why are the merchants' houses built in the water? What is stored in the warehouses of the Speicherstadt? What is an English toilet, and how does the huge ship get into dry dock?

We answer these and many other questions about the port on our varied city tour, starting at the historic Deichstraße and ending at the Landungsbrücken piers on the Elbe River. Along the way, we'll see the Speicherstadt warehouse district, HafenCity, and the Elbphilharmonie concert hall, and visit the Old Elbe Tunnel. We'll illustrate the diverse world of the port with pictures, spices, and stories.

A guided city tour including a short ferry ride for children (6-12 years) accompanied by an adult (HVV ticket required).

Farah Kaddour solo & Tilt Trio

In Arabic music, the long-necked lute known as the buzuq has long stood in the shadow of the oud. Beirut-based musician Farah Kaddour explores the instrument’s significance in the music of the Levant – the Arabic-speaking countries of the eastern Mediterranean. Featuring a variety of ensembles and musical settings, this richly diverse evening forms part of the Elbphilharmonie’s Lebanon spotlight.




As a researcher, composer and stage musician, Farah Kaddour explores every facet of the buzuq’s history in the Levant. Her work spans folk traditions, classical Arabic music, new forms of improvisation and experimental rock. On her current solo album »Bada«, she presents the instrument in all its many dimensions. Sometimes she performs alone, at other times with her trio TILT, where the sound of the buzuq is joined by percussion and the distinctive quarter-tone colouring of the Arabic accordion.

Many people associate the word buzuq with the Greek bouzouki, which is closely related to the Levantine instrument. From the vast family of long-necked lutes, whose history stretches back thousands of years, a pear-shaped, four-string version of the buzuq eventually emerged in Syria and Lebanon. In the 20th century, the instrument made the leap from the sphere of travelling musicians into professional performance practice and after the Second World War it took on an important role in the orchestras accompanying the modern Arabic song tradition.
