The band „Dobranotch“ was set up in 1998 in France where a company of friends musicians from St.Petersburg, Russia was driven by wanderlust and the love of fresh musical experiences. After some years of travels the band came back to St. Petersburg to get a new lineup and new sound.

„Dobranotch“ performs Jewish, Gypsy and Balkan traditional music, drawing on deep knowledge of traditions, rich experience in traveling and interacting with traditional musicians from different countries. The band’s repertoire also includes Russian songs of the golden age of brass bands. Throughout its existence „Dobranotch“ has toured across more than twenty countries of the world and recorded seven albums. One can hear the band’s music in TV series, feature films and documentaries.

The band „Dobranotch“ sounds equally convincing on philharmonic stages and in clubs and on open air festivals. It is not uncommon that the musicians of the band come down off the stage to play right among the audience, as their predecessors did at weddings a hundred years ago.

An evening with Bridge Marklands legendary short transformation performances. Toured around the world since the early nineties –
finally in one show!

Here we meet: The most beautiful woman in the world, comfortable Karl, a Russian GoGo dancer, Banana Gitti + small-time crook Sascha Sehrschön.
The Berliner Bridge Markland stirs up gender stereotypes. With 17 she was wearing her first double breasted pinstriped suit together with female make-up. Her quick transformations between genders and roles are legendary and a very natural part of her stage shows.

In Le Pustra's Kabarett Der Namenlosen she is seen as Anita Berber amongst others – in “queens + kings” she shows a different variety of performances from her large repertoire.

Guests include Dieter Rita School and Veronica Otto

The Bear presents REGRET: if-I-could-turn-back-time stories on May 16th

“Sometimes I wish life was written pencil so we could erase it and write it all over again.”
— Thisuri Wanniarachchi, Colombo Streets


THE BEAR
is Berlin's popular open stage for true stories, told live. Audience chooses 8 random names from a bucket of storytellers. These storytellers have 8 minutes to share an experience based on the evening's topic. The results are sometimes amusing, sometimes poignant, and always entertaining.
Live music and lively audience interaction add to this heartwarming, cosy atmosphere. We come as strangers, and after an evening of storytelling, leave somehow connected by our shared human experience.

PREPARE A STORY ABOUT:
decisions that flopped, things that broke, words that slipped, fists that fought, blood that bled, doors that shut, feelings that got locked away, offers turned down, hellos ignored, roads not taken, red lights not seen, music not heard, dances not danced, moments not celebrated, time, chances, people that somehow regrettably slipped away.

Share your 7-minute ”If Only ...“ tale with us.

Chamber music is an intimate experience, and no more so than in a duo. Here each player is in a dependent relationship with the other, relying on them unconditionally. They must have a deep understanding of each other, and without words trust each other’s instincts to create an exciting tension.

Regardless of which musical style is being performed, or for which instrument it was originally scored, performing chamber music has always given me a special joy.

Berlin, it's time again.
The Pavilions live in the Ballhaus Berlin. Meanwhile a firm component in our calendar.
In the special ambience of the Ballhaus' you experience the band and songs like Leev Marie, Heimat es or Nie mehr Alkohol quite near.
We are looking forward to you!

Thursday, July 25, “Venezuela en Ritmo“ has the honour to welcome COMPASSES for their first concert in Berlin, for the benefit of “AleVen Humanitäre Hilfe e.V.“ at Ballhaus Berlin, Chausseestr. 102, 10115, at 7:00 pm.

Compasses are a Venezuelan band, who develop a fresh and unique instrumental performance out of their folkoristic roots. Merging the beauty of the traditional joropo (sung, played and danced throuout the seasons) with the energy of musical genres such as Jazz and Progressive Rock. They explore each of their instrument's full capacities, based on the diversity of Venezuelan joropo enriched by new sounds and technical virtuosity. Compasses take the rhythm and sonority of Venezuelan folk to an uncomparable velocity, without losing any of its substance and sensitivity.
The quartet is made up of Eduard Jiménez (harp), Alis Cruces (cuatro), Nelson Echandia (bass) und Andrés Ortiz (maracas).

The American musician Moondog, actually Louis Thomas Hardin (1916-1999), spent most of his life in the streets of New York as a free-spirited, music-making poet, clochard and composer. On the 20th anniversary of his death, the saxophone quartet clair obscur dedicates this concert to him and performs his saxophone orchestra works as well as pieces by Michael Nyman:

With 10 saxophonists, percussion, bass and piano, it will be a great saxophone festival. We receive support from numerous colleagues, friends and surprise guests.

Admission: 19:00 h
Start: 20:00 h
Admission: 15,- / reduced 10,- Euro at the box office.

Le Pustra’s Kabarett der Namenlosen

“A Smoky Hallucination of Sex, Art & Beauty.”
