For young people aged 11 and over
Duration: approx. 45 minutes

Cycling, cooking, playing music, relaxing on the sofa: whatever we do, we use energy. But we also give energy, whether physical, creative or mental. Energy is valuable and should be used responsibly, as every child knows!
But where does energy come from? How is it produced? How does it get to us? And what does it have to do with climate change? Can we carry on with business as usual or are there ideas for a different approach to energy? How can we live sustainably? Do we need strict regulations or will new technologies help? Or does something have to change in our minds?
The audience can participate actively: A loop machine can be used to create songs and young people can experience the difference between electric and acoustic violins. This sharpens their perception of music and energy.
Our musicians and actors explore these questions in search of a conscious approach to energy and show that art connects, inspires - and encourages people to use their own resources consciously!
«Kinder brauchen Struwwelpeter»
For children and young people aged 6-11
By and with Eva Miribung violin, Jan Wollmann trumpet, Konstantin Timokhine compositions, arrangements, horn, Georg Dettweiler violoncello, Salomé Im Hof direction
Paulinchen with the lighter, Hans Guck in die Luft and Co.: Four characters from "Struwwelpeter" come to life, each with their own musical colour. The audience also takes on small roles, be they laughing fish or clattering crockery...
Struwwelpeter Hör-Album
Der Struwwelpeter, played and sung by a quartet of the Basel Chamber Orchestra.
"Look, here he stands. Fie! Der Struwwelpeter..."
The eight famous stories from the timeless children's book based on the idea, concept and staging of director Salomé Im Hof, in witty, theatrical settings and arrangements by Konstantin Timokhine as an audio album.
The original chronological order of the original book has been retained, so it is easy to read along in the book and follow the pictures. Between the episodes, questions are asked in short intermezzi - spoken by and for children. Stimulating for children to form their own thoughts and valuable as a teaching aspect of the audio album - a fun treat for the whole family!

«Heim-Spiel»
For children and young people from the age of 10
By and with Etele Dosa clarinet, Simon Lilly trumpet, Tamás Vásárhelyi violin, Christoph Dangel violoncello, Salomé Im Hof direction
What happens when the first violinist can't keep time? What if not everything goes smoothly between people on tour? And what does Beethoven's Fifth Symphony actually sound like backwards?
With a rolling suitcase in one hand and an instrument in the other, four musicians give an insight into their everyday lives with wit, acumen and lots of music.
