Would you like to get to know the important spots around the university? Then our scavenger hunt is just the thing for you! With puzzles and games, you'll work your way from spot to spot and the first team to reach the finish line wins! We will pick you up from the get-together and everyone will have the opportunity to buy drinks for the evening (whether non-alcoholic or alcoholic is up to you!) and we will divide up the teams on site. So if you haven't met that many people after one day, you don't have to worry. The scavenger hunt is a great opportunity!

>> Dead or Alive – Poetry Slam: Kleist gegen Alle

Dichterschlacht Präsentiert von Kampf der Künste und Kleist Forum

Dead: Judith Rosmair, Julia von Sell, Boris Aljinovic, Thomas Thieme

Alive: Stars der aktuellen Poetry-Slam-Szene

Wie würde sich Kleist heute schlagen? Wäre er ein gefeierter Instagram-Poet mit abertausenden Followern – oder doch eher ein heimlicher Hobbydichter? Oder wäre er gar Poetry Slammer geworden? Vier begnadete Poetry Slammer treten für das Team »Alive« an, bewaffnet mit ihren besten, selbstverfassten Texten und geölter Stimme! Auf der anderen Seite, das Team »Dead«: Vier gestandene Schauspieler:innen mimen allesamt Kleist in unterschiedlichen Interpretationen, schlüpfen in seine Haut, rezitieren und spielen, hauchen seinen Werken neues Leben ein, lassen Kleist durch sie wieder lebendig werden! Das Publikum entscheidet, wer diesen Wettkampf der Worte gewinnen soll. Kann sich der Großmeister Heinrich gegen vier junge Erben behaupten?

Eine Veranstaltung im Rahmen der Kleist-Festtage 2024.

Tickets: 22,- / 11 € (ermäßigt) oder 5 € Last-Minute-Ticket für Studierende für Restkarten an der Abendkasse

Adresse:
Kleist Forum

>> Premiere: Kleist K.o.

Konzertante Lesung nach Texten von Heinrich von Kleist

Thomas Thieme (Lesung) Arthur Thieme (Bassgitarre) Axel Schulz (Boxlegende)

Regie und Fassung: Julia von Sell Komposition: Arthur Thieme

Eine Produktion des Kleist Forums

In seiner neuen konzertanten Lesung steigt der Schauspieler Thomas Thieme mit Heinrich von Kleist in den Ring. »Zwei berühmte englische Boxer…«, so beginnt Kleists berühmte Anekdote. Und mit dem Tod der beiden Kontrahenten schließt sie. K.o. – KNOCKOUT – ohnmächtig – bewusstlos – tot. Sehr lapidar beobachtet Kleist diese grausame Geschichte. Auch seine Figuren wandeln ständig zwischen Bewusstsein und Bewusstlosigkeit. Mal romantisch, wie die Marquise von O…., die die Ohnmacht fast schon im Namen trägt, mal bis zur Raserei, wie Penthesilea. Doch während Kleist seine Figuren existentiell K.o. schlägt, ist das K.o. im Boxkampf eine spektakuläre Möglichkeit zum Sieg.

Eine Veranstaltung im Rahmen der Kleist-Festtage 2024.

Tickets: 22,- / 11 € (ermäßigt) oder 5 € Last-Minute-Ticket für Studierende für Restkarten an der Abendkasse
