ОТКРЫТИЕ ВЫСТАВКИ: “AH SO!” Анны Лукашевской 27/05/25 | 19.00 Уже сегодня! Выставку “Ah so!” художницы Анны Лукашевской можно рассматривать как берлинское продолжение серии портретов «Типажи», представленной в 2022 году в Художественном музее Хайфы. Разница между ними в том, что выставка в Хайфе зафиксировала исследование общества длиной в семь лет, а берлинская выставка показывает самое начало пути, первые впечатления от Германии. На некоторых берлинских портретах ещё не полностью высохла краска.

LOVE IS LOVE: SOVIET CHILDHOOD EDITION 26/04/25 Doors 19:30 | Start 20:00 What does queerness look like through the foggy lens of Soviet nostalgia? This special edition of Love is Love dives into childhood memories shaped by a system that never had the language for queerness — but somehow, queerness found its way through anyway. Through live readings, stories, performance, and shared reflection, we’ll hear voices that grew up behind the Iron Curtain and now speak from a place of both memory and transformation. 💃🕺 An evening for listening, remembering, and connecting across generations and geographies. Expect laughter, rawness, maybe a tear or two — and a warm, brave space to hold it all.

ELSA – JUMP! ALBUM RELEASE 25/04/25 Doors 20:00 | Start 20:30 Tickets: €15 online / €20 at the door What happens when jazz grows wings, dips into soul, then spins off into something altogether its own? You get JUMP! — the brand-new album from Vienna-based band ELSA, led by the soul-stirring vocals of Elsa Steixner. This new chapter leans into rhythm, freedom, and flow. The songs move with urgency and vulnerability — groovy one moment, heartbreakingly intimate the next. Built on improvisation and storytelling, ELSA’s sound is inspired by the rawness of Nina Simone, the lyrical clarity of Joni Mitchell, and the feel of a late-night whisper shared over a glass of something strong. Joined by Julian Bazzanella (piano), Jakob Lang (double bass), and Daniel Louis (drums), this release concert promises an evening full of feeling, rhythm, and connection. 🎵 Come celebrate with us — lean in, jump deep, and let the music hold you for a while.

Each piece invites you to look a little longer, to pause, to wonder. To accompany the visual journey, the vernissage will feature a live ambient modular set by Anton Kubikov — a soundscape to drift into, layered with soft, experimental textures. Please bring your own headphones to fully immerse yourself in this audio experience.

He was named “Guitarist of the Year” at the 2021 German Jazz Prize. 🎷 Chris Pitsiokos (saxophone), a standout of the NYC avant-garde scene, is now based in Berlin.

В контексте войны России против Украины, глобальных эмоциональных конфликтов и общественной поляризации, эти четыре трека в стиле spoken word & urban chords погружают в самую суть реальности.
