A one-time evening for a round celebration



Werner Brix turns 60 and wants to celebrate with you, his family, and his friends here at Vindobona!
For this unique (!) evening, he will perform his songs that he has created over the years with his fantastic band and will surely share some stories from his career.
You will definitely be positively surprised by the musical side of Werner. With his song "Konsumidiot," he made it to the finals of the Protestsongcontest!
Joining him are Michi Reitinger (Guitar), Christian Tesak (Keys, Accordion), Moritz Holy (Bass), and Roman Baier (Drums).



And so we can all dance beautifully, there will be DJ Eisbär after 60 minutes of the program!!!
The proceeds of the evening go to the Development Aid Club to support Werner's project in India.
He and we look forward to seeing you and this spectacular event.

Sašo Avsenik is a true musician with a genetic predisposition, as his grandfather is considered the inventor of the Oberkrainer sound and thus goes down in history.

Sašo Avsenik continues the musical heritage in his own unique way: likeable, authentic, and full of tradition! The exceptional musicality of the musicians and their joy of playing emphasize: "It's so wonderful to be a musician!"

Great hits & evergreens guarantee an explosion of emotions, not only making the hearts of die-hard Oberkrainer fans beat faster!

Can it be possible that a completely unprepared actor, without a piece and memorized text, without a rehearsal, entertains a sold-out theater for two hours and convinces the audience until the end that everything is going according to plan?

Can it be that the same cabaret evening under the title "Regeneration Evening" is repeated for over ten years and the audience occasionally expresses: "This is the best thing you have ever done, Mr. Düringer!"?

Can it be that thirty years later, the actor still remembers the unwritten text from back then and brings the stories of Christmas Eve in Favoriten, motorcycle races in the Vienna Woods, of the Jeep dancing on black ice, and the first boring hours at the Burgtheater back to life?

Could it also be that there are new stories to tell from Düringer's life story? Yes, that will be the case! Coming soon to a cabaret stage near you! Because in exciting times, it is good to treat your brain and soul to a regeneration evening.

By the way, did you know that without Hermann Maier, there would be no regeneration evening with Roland Düringer, and that thirty years ago, when the audience was firmly convinced that everything on stage was going according to plan, the unplanned premiere had an unexpected ending? Curious? Good! If you have a question for Mr. Düringer, please bring it with you, that would be a good start.

Graz seduces you - narrow alleys, imposing buildings, and modern architecture. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through one of the most fascinating Old Towns in Europe, which is both youthful, cheeky, and innovative at the same time.

Musically, THE NEW ROSES are an explosive force inspired by bands like Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, Kid Rock, Metallica, and The Black Crowes, but in their own unique way. This musical concept makes THE NEW ROSES one of the few German rock bands of the present that stand on an international stage.

The band's tours have taken them to the biggest festivals in Europe such as Hellfest (FR), Sweden Rock" (SE), Hard Rock Hell (UK), Masters Of Rock (CZ), Rockfest Barcelona (ES), where they shared the stage with greats like Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, The Scorpions, KISS, and many more. The latter repeatedly invited THE NEW ROSES to their KISS Kruise (as the only German band ever!) in Miami, as well as special guests for numerous shows on their "End Of The Road" World Tour.

Other highlights include concert tours to Russia (2019) and Afghanistan (2017), where the band performed at Camp Marmal (Mazar-e-Sharif) for the international forces of the "Resolute Support" mission.

2022 and 2023 were dominated by the new album "Sweet Poison", which once again reached the Top 20 of the German album charts. Since the release of the new album, THE NEW ROSES have been practically touring non-stop. Whether it's shows with KISS, headline tours, touring in the UK, Scandinavia, Benelux, Switzerland, and Austria, as well as a vast number of festivals across Europe.

Currently, THE NEW ROSES are busy with the recordings for the new album, which will be released in autumn 2024. As part of the album release, THE NEW ROSES will tour both nationally and internationally in the autumn. Until then, THE NEW ROSES can still be seen at a whole range of festivals. The signs are pointing to a storm!

She, the important one, has been stressed about Christmas since mid-October. He, Walter, is too. He has already endured eighteen Christmas parties.

And now the Christmas tree, a dream... a nightmare. First, the patented stand breaks off and then panic sets in. What to do if you can't get a stand for Christmas Eve?

All year long Walter is happily without punch. And then this festive day arrives.
Raclette, fondue, incense, and a minor flu for the only donkey in the house.

Finally, evening comes. The little bell rings. Is it the Christ child at the door? No. It's the mother-in-law. Hallelujah!

Celebrate a unique holiday with Walter Kammerhofer.
You haven't experienced Christmas like this before (and probably won't want to either).

Oh You Merry ... a holy night, but the other way around.

When Christoph Fritz meets his mother, they shake hands to greet each other. Sometimes, he longs for closeness so much that he is delighted to receive spam emails or letters addressed to the previous tenant.

However, since one should not reply to spam emails and secretly opening other people's letters over steam is not a permanent solution, he sets out in search of intimacy, which he finds in unexpected places.

Thus, a secluded street in France, a nighttime garden in Lower Austria, or a urologist's office become the settings for unexpected tenderness.

Anamnesis:
Patient complains of difficulties getting into the Christmas spirit in a timely manner.
Recently only felt joy after the holidays.
Otherwise, no complaints.

Status:
Good general condition, good nutritional status, characteristic smell of spiral potatoes and punch, soft abdomen, no defense tension, no visible injuries.

Treatment proposal:
Early installation of shooting star fairy lights as outdoor illumination.
Replace traditional Christmas roast with tofu; this guarantees an exciting Christmas evening with the whole family.
Schedule night shifts for December 24th in the future.

Omar Sarsam invites you to an evening full of music, harmony, joy, love, and humanity. Alternatively, Christmas spirit is also possible upon request.

Oh, du Andere!

Klaus Eckel is the German autobahn among cabaret artists. Unfortunately, he doesn't know any speed limits.
However, in 2023, the hyperactive wordsmith finally took a break from the parking lot of life and enjoyed a 9-month timeout! Doing nothing for the duration of a pregnancy! Completely free from the pandemic! And this should be a high achiever? Well, if everyone did the same! Countless punchlines have piled up. And punchlines are like dogs with full bladders. They just have to come out.

And that's why he's going back on tour. The brand-new, freshly baked version of his stadium-ready breakthrough program: Slow Speakers Aren't Believed.

Well, everything good? Yes, all good. Really? When exactly did "everything good" become a daily worn-out incantation? Probably somewhere between the toilet paper hoarding, the influencer madness, and all the other global disasters. But, fun fact: It's not all good!
So. And now for the good news: Christoph & Lollo are releasing a new album! Eleven new songs about politics, coffee, dogs, Instagrammers, and hurt feelings. Here, all the important questions are answered. Where are the hands? Christoph & Lollo even know that. Austria's odd couple of satirical songwriting combines the energy of rock 'n' roll and the DIY spirit of indie punk with sarcastic sharpness. Thus, Christoph & Lollo have found the appropriate method to counter the absurd present. Why? Because they can. And no one else is doing it. So: all good.
Now available on vinyl & CD and on tour.

Experience an evening dedicated to classical music and enjoy the special ambiance of the baroque Marble Hall at Mirabell Palace. The Marble Hall was once the ballroom of the Prince Archbishop and is now considered one of the most beautiful concert halls in the world. Here, Father Leopold Mozart and his children Wolfgang and Nannerl once made music. Let yourself be enchanted by the soloists and the changing ensembles, who will captivate you with their intense and atmospheric works. Look forward to the different interpretations of the finest chamber music.

50 SHADES OF SCHMÄH

Alex Kristan has turned 50, or as the optimist within him says: "The first third of life is over." And because the thirst for action is still greater than the nocturnal urge to urinate, he takes this "round" as an opportunity to treat himself to a new solo program. Because when one suddenly finds themselves in the 50+ target group as a so-called Best Ager, only humor can help against the lead in the legs and the silver in the hair.

Supposedly, 50 is the new 30. Or is that only true for the local area? Even if 10 PM becomes the new midnight, the new skin care still doesn't have to be Voltaren instead of Nivea. It still pays off to buy long-life milk. Making diet plans, dyeing hair, whitening teeth, all of that is for pop-up seniors who see crowdfunding as a detox cure. His motto, on the other hand, is: "being sensible is like being dead, but before" and brings back the cheeky kid.

Exactly at that pivotal point in life, where the balance lies between looking well-groomed and being well taken care of, one asks oneself if everything really was better in the past and if so, why not? Shortsightedness is now compensated with foresight, and as long as the cake is more expensive than the candles on it, one is not old anyway.

Alex Kristan's alter egos naturally accompany him on this journey and are there to provide advice and assistance when it comes to the truly essential questions in the life of a man supposedly in his best years. It's a start-up into a new phase of life, where gout or truth is at stake.

And the truth is, he is 42 net, so exclusive of VAT. Aging is a very beautiful thing. Especially considering the alternative.

In the Mühlviertel they say it takes three things to become an adult man: one must conceive a child, build a house, and plant a tree. Benedikt Mitmannsgruber is not a man like any other. He is thin, weak, has a mustache, wears an old Norwegian sweater, and is a classic anti-hero, a sensitive loser type. Instead of building a house and becoming a father, he sits in a sparsely furnished back room in a bleak city with a cup of St. John's Wort tea and writes funny stories.
At some point, his family realizes that he doesn't age. While his friends grow older, take on responsibilities, buy cars, conceive children, and work, Mitmannsgruber is stuck in time. He wants to remain in his mid-20s forever. He keeps postponing adulthood until it becomes unattainable and out of reach. And then he packs his things. Without a goal in sight, he travels through the stages of Austria and Germany. He appears on television, wins awards, and receives anonymously sent underwear.
Can art save the disoriented ne'er-do-well? Can the disoriented ne'er-do-well possibly save art? "The strange case of Benedikt Mitmannsgruber" is the grand fate of a young anti-hero and the people he encounters in his life: he finds love, meets conspiracy theorists, gets disappointed, has to isolate and learns what is of timeless significance: his dog, his girlfriend, and avocado spread.
"Those who could escape from the revolving door of life in the Mühlviertel to study the small border trade with blueberries to the Czech Republic, in order to then stoically sink Jörg Haider as an albino python in the toilet - those who constantly sharpen their own supposed naivete with malice deserve the executioner's axe." (Jury statement Passauer Scharfrichterbeil 2022)

"I often photograph friends and show these pictures to my food."

Don't be so sensible! Do more less! Enjoy yourselves! But how? What does "enjoyment" mean? For the individual? For society? How can we reconcile the longing for a dream job, meaning, and hammock? And who has a face that fits a hat anyway?!

Michaela Obertscheider speaks candidly about the shortcomings of people who step into roles. Or into pitfalls. The eloquent impostor acts as a lecturer for art of living and artificial life. She raves about laziness as an efficient strategy for creativity but is quite glad they didn't stay on the couch after all.

Her debut "Enjoy yourselves!" is a plea for the joyful style of life. The versatile artist has taken the effort to contemplate about effortless action and inaction and is now looking forward to sharing this amusing set of rules with you. Have a lot of fun!

These humans are terrible people. Wars, conflicts, climate catastrophes. Even after 86 conferences, they cannot find any solutions! No one, not a monkey, not a polar bear, not even a mouse, wants to hear the news or read the newspaper anymore, it's always the same. And then the adults claim that they are doing everything to make things better for the children in the future. "These poor children," the animals say, and decide to put an end to this madness. They, in turn, call for a first (and certainly last) international conference in the animals' high-rise building. Representatives from all continents arrive, including the elephant Oskar, the lion Alois, and the giraffe Leopoldine. To bring the adults to their senses, they come up with fantastic ideas, because after all: "It's about the children".

Erich Kästner not only addressed his appeal to them, as he emphasized with the subtitle "A Book for Children and Connoisseurs." Or as the polar bear Paula put it: "I will never understand how such nice children later become dentists!"
