THE RED FLAGS - stardust in my ears - tour (part 1)

The Red Flags: Loud. Chaotic. Unvarnished.
Between grunge, punk, and alternative rock, The Red Flags do exactly what they love – raw, honest, and unafraid to offend. The four musicians stand for uncompromising authenticity and energetic live shows that range from angry 90-second punk songs to emotional ballads. With songs about sexism, social inequality, mental health, and interpersonal relationships, they process what moves them – directly, creatively, and with a clear stance.

Tischlein deck dich - Kellertheater

Clara, Anton, and Bente, the children of a stubborn master tailor, set out into the world to learn a trade. At the end of their apprenticeship, they each receive a special gift from their eccentric masters, but this gift lands the three in some exciting turmoil. Always with them is Lotti, a clever, rapping, and ever-hungry goat.

TITANIC - schöne Menschen spielen große Gefühle

An evening for fans – with fans. An actress and an actor enthusiastically demonstrate their love for a film that embodies grand emotions: TITANIC. They perform their favorite scenes, sing, dance, play music, and provide top-notch entertainment at Hamburg's theater. With minimal resources, they create the entire luxury liner, complete with salon, lower deck, railings, and much more, slipping into a variety of roles and transporting their audience into the world of the most tragically beautiful lovers in film history. A fast-paced, merciless parody of the classic film starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Anke Bautzmann was awarded the Michael Bogdanov Prize 2025 as best up-and-coming actress.

With Anke Bautzmann and Tobias Schaller
