Anna Mabo
"Thank you, I'm fine," we often answer when asked about our well-being. Even when it's not entirely sincere, when we just don't want to burden the other person with the honest answer. Sometimes, it's also because of a lack of trust. In Anna Mabo's case, DANKE GUT is the title of an album. It's about shy sailors, death-wishing Pyrenean tourists, and neighbors who would also like to receive a package every now and then. It's an album full of doubts and hope. Because even if nobody believes in themselves, but everyone believes in each other, in the end, everyone is believed in. The album was recorded for the first time as a trio. In addition to cellist Clemens Sainitzer, drummer Alexander Yannilos is also on board. "So that Clemens no longer has to tap his cello or even beatbox when I want more punch," says Mabo. Musically, this opens up a new range, from restrained ballads to great folk rock. Lyrically, the amiable singer-songwriter is beyond reproach.

inn.wien x Drehwerk
inn.wien is an orchestra of professional string musicians with classical training. Yet, it is not a classic string orchestra. Founded in November 2020 in response to the cultural stop due to the pandemic, they see themselves as a collective of young musicians with high artistic standards. With their understanding of music, they question classical conventions and leave conservative thinking behind - in favor of respect for each other, critical thinking, diversity, creativity, and individuality of the members. Together with the jazz trio Drehwerk, they are now dedicating themselves to a completely new repertoire: Progressive string sound meets homegrown jazz, classical and contemporary influences, and the art of improvisation unite in melody, rhythm, and virtuosity. A business merger of a special kind.

At the wellenklængen festival, Anna Mabo and inn.wien x Drehwerk will perform together on stage for the first time and create the opening concert.

The Temple of the Night is a unique, listed garden grotto from the 18th century. The central temple room can be reached via hidden underground passages. From the Russian Tsars to Emperor Franz I, all European rulers were guests to admire the secret temple complex. Make your way, wander through the labyrinth, and discover the underground bath of the goddess Diana!

The path to the Temple Mountain leads through the fantastic English landscape park of Schönau, past the palace, which Archduke Otto von Habsburg built for his stud farm. Emperor Charles I celebrated his 18th birthday here, and the Red Archduchess, Maria Elisabeth von Habsburg, held her famous infamous seances here.

On the journey to Florida for the next performance, they meet and fall in love with "Sugar," the band's beautiful singer, who has other plans - she wants to finally catch a millionaire. Amidst fast-paced chases and turbulent love confusions, things increasingly spiral out of control …

Golden exit ticket from the gray everyday life, anyone?
Then off to the heights of a happily buoyant "Damenspitzerl"!

Because the "Damenspitzerl" is indeed the king's discipline of enjoyment, brought about by sparkling aperitifs, by the relentlessly captivating humor of a ladies' circle, or by means of a well-built hormone hero within the feminine field of view. The "Damenspitzerl" is even better enjoyed in the company of pleasure-hungry soul sisters, but life-affirming soul brothers are also warmly welcome! - So, put on your best outfit and let the good times roll! Treat yourself to an illuminating evening with Lydia Prenner-Kasper!

Baden premiere of the satirical musical!

PLOT

The satirical musical is based very loosely on the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It loosely follows the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table on their quest for the Holy Grail. The very different knights are recruited by the melancholic King Arthur and the diva-like Lady of the Lake using bizarre methods and travel through England, where they must face various adventures. In doing so, the shallow Broadway business is also satirized in a quirky, bizarre, and absurd way.

ABOUT THE MUSICAL

The English comedy group Monty Python achieved a tremendous success with their work SPAMALOT, which premiered on Broadway in 2005.

"I AM ARTHUR, KING OF THE BRITONS."

When real estate sharks, financial advisors, or agricultural machinery salesmen drive into the villages and try to deceive simple people with their businesses, they should steer clear of Petutschnig Hons' house.

Many have attempted with the cult farmer from Schlatzing, and all have broken their gold teeth. Hons, who is more biting towards suit-wearers than a vegan-fed Doberman, has attended the school of life and was an exemplary student who remembers every single lesson.

In his new program "Bauernschlau," the powerful word force from the countryside leads honestly and uncompromisingly into a verbal crusade against charlatans and deceivers, leaving laughter lines and sore stomach muscles behind, and equipping his audience with a tool against uninvited intruders.

Following the motto: "Hons or not at all!" His word is law when he intelligently talks about politicians, fraudsters, or the everyday madness of our lives.

With over 200,000 Facebook fans, 100,000 Tiktok fans, and 90 million YouTube views, Austria's most popular farmer will delight you live with his punchlines and angelic singing!

The wealthy bachelor Anatol whiles away the time with love affairs, accompanied by his loyal friend Max, going from one affair to the next. Narcissism, pathological jealousy, and an inability to love stand in the way of his personal fulfillment. In his encounters, he meets artists, married women, and young girls. They all seem to understand love more than he does...


At the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, Arthur Schnitzler created with Anatol a mirror image of the typical male representative of his class and a prominent figure of the Fin de Siècle. Anatol is a decadent, self-absorbed young man whose life reflects the political decline of an entire bourgeois generation. In this debut work, the young poet and doctor Schnitzler also reveals his own search for love and his excessively lived promiscuity, meticulously recorded in his diaries. Through his female characters, from the sophisticated lady to the sweet girl, Schnitzler captures the spirit of an era where the inner life of a woman became a major misunderstanding of this male-dominated epoch.


Michael Gampe, who has intensely engaged with Schnitzler's work in numerous productions, including the Reichenau Festival, interprets the character of this "Austrian dandy" in four selected one-act plays, exposing the double standards of society then and now.

All religions have their own creation myths. Now the Dada Circus has one too. Three higher beings with one goal:

Creating life to immortalize themselves. The absurd foundation for a bizarre and clownesque endeavor has been set. Relentlessly stumbling from one failure to the next, they find their own roles in the process. But if the world shapes them and not vice versa, what sets them apart from humans and their destructive struggle for control? Giving life and taking life are two sides of the same omnipotent fantasy. Pride comes before a fall, but what comes after?



DADA Circus: The circus theater of a somewhat different kind. The contemporary circus company from Graz and Vienna tells modern fairy tales; sometimes funny, sometimes touching, but always bizarre. Skillfully, they move between familiar clichés and total imagination. In their shows, they combine acrobatics, juggling, object manipulation, dance, and their own style of "Physical Theatre."

Seven friends (three couples and one single) play a dangerous game during a shared dinner: every message that arrives on their seven phones throughout the evening must be read aloud, and everyone gets to see pictures and videos. Very quickly, it becomes apparent that juggling with sharp knives wouldn't be any more dangerous... Because each and every one of them not only has a public and a private life, but also a secret one. The successful film "Perfect Strangers" (2016) has been awarded multiple times and inspired a total of 18 international remakes, including in Japan, Israel, and Iceland. This production holds the Guinness World Record for the film with the most adaptations.

Tonight's show features American stand-up comedian (and TikTok "star") REGINALD BÄRRIS, as he finds the humor through all the trials and tribulations of modern dating! Reginald has sold out shows in 20+ countries across Europe and also been the support act for comedy legend Russell Peters!

All please briefly stand on tiptoe! There's news from the Grammel household!

After his first four frenetically celebrated, highly praised, dearly beloved, and therefore rightfully platinum-award-winning live shows "HETZ MICH NICHT!", "KEINE ANHUNG", "ICH FIND’S LUSTIG", and most recently "FAST FERTIG!", our incorrigibly cheerful-blond-highlighted Bauchrednerstolz from Spandau nonchalantly conjures up his latest, dreamily emotional, wonderfully silly live show "WÜNSCH DIR WAS" from the hat, the sleeve or the belly.

Just a few seconds into "WÜNSCH DIR WAS", one understands why Grammel didn't just happen to learn the small ABC, the great multiplication table, and one-handed cycling on an almost real Spandauer honey cake horse – so sugar-sweet and pudding-powder-clever, El Grammeloni scores once again with his incomparable, never taking himself too seriously, childishly light-hearted humor, his enviable, chronically cheerful disposition, and his unshakeable penchant for utter nonsense. "WÜNSCH DIR WAS" is Grammel's latest, craziest, wonderfully quirky joyride into the cozy, funny-wild ventriloquist wonderland.

An all-around funny, playful, intergenerational family outing into the blue or green, with all the trimmings, and the unwavering promise that in the end, everything will be alright again. That dreams come true if you believe in them strongly enough. That fairy tales come true and that worries and sorrows will surely pass again. And in the end, friendship, love, courage, and honesty always prevail.


So, die-hard fans as well as new Grammel enthusiasts can look forward to the full Puppet Comedy experience with "WÜNSCH DIR WAS"! But beware: this time, our dear Sascha "I think I just forgot my lines" Grammel and his incomparable puppet troupe are completely out of control. But why not? "WÜNSCH DIR WAS" is a colorful Grammel potpourri of the finest quality! With icing and guaranteed laughter-induced sore muscles!
And Scotland wouldn't be Scotland, a Schrimp wouldn't be a Schrimp, and Grammel wouldn't be Grammel if there weren't a few tears of sentiment to shed here and there...

Sascha Grammel's "WÜNSCH DIR WAS" is one huge Puppet Comedy grab bag and a must-see, must-laugh, and must-come-again not only for absolute Grammel fans!

So, from November 2023 back on tour in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. And then in Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. And then in... It's best to secure tickets now!
