A Meeting of Two Worlds: In the musical highlight “Tarzan,” audiences join the title character on a breathtaking jungle adventure. Spectacular original compositions, plenty of suspense, and a touch of romance create an entertaining live experience for the whole family! Theater Liberi, known for its modern family musicals, stages Edgar Rice Burroughs’ century-old story in a contemporary version. Imaginative costumes, a playful, colorful set, and atmospheric lighting effects create the jungle world in which Tarzan lives. Musically, audiences are treated to a varied journey through different genres, impressing with powerful arrangements and big emotions. A highly trained ensemble ensures that characters, music, and sets merge on stage into a unique whole. A young family is shipwrecked and, barely stranded on the African coast, is attacked by wild animals. Left behind is a little boy who, alone and orphaned, is taken in by the female ape Kala and raised as her own child. But although Tarzan finds a home among the apes and a good friend in the ape girl Tee, the leader Kerchak still makes him feel, even after years, that he does not truly belong. The feeling that he still has to find his place in the world grows even stronger when Tarzan meets humans for the first time. Professor Porter, his curious daughter Jane, and the shady Olivia Clayton are on an expedition to explore the jungle. Over time, Tarzan and Jane grow ever closer, but then events come to a head and Tarzan and his ape family are in great danger… Foyer opens: 2:00 p.m. Auditorium opens: 2:30 p.m.
The audience in Göttingen already knows Moritz Neumeier: after a celebrated performance on February 4, 2026, the comedian is now returning to the Stadthalle. On Tuesday, February 23, 2027, Neumeier will be back in Göttingen with his new program “PUR.” Doors open at 6 p.m., and the show starts at 7 p.m. “PUR” is an evening about everything — and at the same time about what remains when you leave everything else out. Moritz Neumeier talks about truth, doubt and contradictions, about children and responsibility, overwhelm and therapy. His humor is direct, raw and brutally honest. Neumeier speaks openly about his everyday life and also about personal topics such as his depression. In doing so, he achieves something that makes his performances special: even with serious and difficult subjects, there is still room for big laughs. He repeatedly leads his audience to the line between “I really shouldn’t find this funny right now” and the liberating laughter that comes anyway. Neumeier is one of those comedians who are not too proud on stage to make themselves the butt of the joke. With just a few gestures and an unvarnished style of language, he generates enormous energy in the hall. His comedy format “falsch, aber lustig” now reaches millions of fans. Neumeier is also active in many areas away from the stage. Together with Till Reiners, he produces the weekly podcast “Talk ohne Gast” on Fritz. In 2025, his first children’s book, “Kleiner Papa, großer Papa,” was also published by Oetinger Verlag, followed by two more books in 2026. With “PUR,” Neumeier is likely to strike a ch
A spotlight, a microphone and a man in a bathrobe – that’s all it takes for a magnificent evening! On his first major and completely sold-out solo tour in 2019, the multiple award-winning TV cult figure Dittsche not only regularly brought audiences to their feet in his live shows, but was also promptly honored with the “LEA – Live Entertainment Award.” No wonder that the second tour in spring 2022 was also a huge success. In our currently difficult times, his counter philosophy is needed more than ever – so it’s high time for a sequel! In the WDR cult series “Dittsche – Das wirklich wahre Leben,” Olli Dittrich, as the likeable loser “Dittsche,” has been winning the nation’s hearts since 2004 from the counter of the Eppendorfer Grillstation. Always there: snack bar owner Ingo (“my Ingo man”), played by Jon Flemming Olsen as a grounding element, as well as Schildkröte (“Shut up – I’m off duty!”), whose role was taken over after his death by his son Jens Lindschau, alias “Krötensohn Jens” – along with wonderfully bizarre counter philosophies about current world events, the pitfalls of everyday life and, of course, again and again the little, delightfully absurd stories involving the neighbors, the Karger couple.
