The programme:
NN Theatre with the play Molière
When? Wednesday, 16 August, from 8 pm
A theatre cart travels through the French countryside - it is the "Illustre Theatre", an impoverished folk theatre around director, actor and author MOLIÈRE and theatre manager MADELEINE BÉJART. The rural population cheers Molière's new play DON JUAN, but the income is meagre.
Probably also because Molière clashes with the powerful church and is repeatedly banned from playing. Not for nothing is he considered the sharpest pen in France. In the role of Don Juan, for example, he exposes the double standards of the authorities in a humorously biting way. While the "greatest lover in the world" stands between hundreds of women, Molière stands "only" between two. A fateful love triangle that means a lot of explosive power for the troupe. Molière and Don Juan blur more and more into one figure...what is stage, what is reality?
And suddenly he receives an invitation at court. The Sun King Louis XIV intends to use Molière's fame for himself. Between censorship and affection - a dangerous tightrope act for the acting gang begins.
The event takes place in cooperation with the Stadttheater Bocholt e.V. and is supported by the Kultursekretariat NRW Gütersloh and the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.
BOHJazz
When? Thursday, 17 August, beginning: 7.30 p.m.
On Thursday evening, the trio around guitarist Christian Hassenstein will perform as part of the BOHJazz series. The guest soloist at this concert will be Philipp Schittek on trombone. He will play together with Volker Heinze on bass, Rene Marx on drums and with Christian Hassenstein on guitar. Look forward to interesting sounds from this unique combination.
Philipp Schittek began lessons on the trombone and piano at an early age and regularly won prizes at competitions. He studied for a Bachelor's degree at the Folkwang University of the Arts and is currently about to complete his Master's degree. Philipp was a long-time member of the JungendJazzOrchester NRW as well as the Bundesjazzorchester. He is an active member of the German jazz scene, has performed with national and international artists and plays in various formations as a leader and sideman.
The jazz evening is supported by the Stadtsparkasse Bocholt.
Comedy with Jacqueline Feldmann
When? Friday, 18 August, 8 pm
On Friday, stand-up comedienne Jacqueline Feldmann will perform her programme "Plötzlich Zukunft! Nobody could have known..." will be performing in Bocholt. The 27-year-old is one of the up-and-coming young comedians and can already look back on two successful solo programmes. Jacky, as she calls herself, tells stories from her everyday life, about friends and family, with her charming, cheeky and enchanting manner.
With her programme "Plötzlich Zukunft! Nobody could have known ..." she skilfully manages the balancing act between the generations. It deals with the fears of young people and their parents about their future careers. Jacky also tells of her own experiences. For her young audience she is an identification figure and for her older fans she shows the life of a young woman.
The event takes place in cooperation with the Stadttheater Bocholt e.V. and is supported by the Kultursekretariat NRW Gütersloh and the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.
One-Man Theatre and Silent Disco
When? Saturday, 19 August: One-Man Theatre with Peter Trabner (4.30 pm) and Silent Disco (starts at 8.30 pm).
Peter Trabner - "The Life of Diogenes
Peter Trabner is not only an actor in theatre, film and television, his great passion is theatre in public spaces. Above all, he loves direct contact with his audience. His shows are mostly freely improvised, unbridled and unique. He works in many different fields and has a lot of success with them.
In Bocholt he performs with the play "The Life of Diogenes". In the play, life in our consumer society is critically scrutinised. Among other things, it is about the question of what drives people on the inside.
The event takes place in cooperation with the Ökumenischer Arbeitskreis Eine Welt Bocholt e. V. (Ecumenical Working Group One World Bocholt).
Silent Disco together with DochDu e.V.
Together with the DochDu association, the Silent Disco will take place again this year. Three different DJs will be playing under the colourfully illuminated Skyliner. The diverse music programme should offer something for almost every musical taste. Through the headphones, everyone can choose "their" DJ and party to the music. The Silent Disco is a fun event for different age groups and offers a party atmosphere that you certainly won't find on the market square again so soon.
Headphones can be borrowed on this evening for a reasonable deposit fee from 20.00 hrs on the market square. Sufficient drinks and food will be provided.
Puppet show and art market
When? Sunday, 20 August: Puppet show "Alles Rabenstark! oder Hauen bis der Milchzahn wackelt? (two performances, starting at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.)
On the last day of the Culture Days, the puppet show "Alles Rabenstark! oder Hauen bis der Milchzahn wackelt?" offers a programme for the youngest culture enthusiasts. The play is performed by Ulrich Schulz, a member of the puppet theatre "Die Complizen".
The content: The wolf has taken up residence in the castle of the raven Socks and the badger, and they have quarreled so violently that the wolf has spanked the raven. Since the wolf is too strong for both of them, they run away. What should they do now? Talk to the wolf, no, it probably won't be that easy. Eddi Bear thinks they should train and build up muscles. Is that the right way or will it only make things worse?
The participatory play, with lively, cheeky and musical staging, is a play about solving conflicts.
Free online tickets can be booked from 15.07 at bocholt.de/kulturtage. There are 200 seats (=200 tickets) available per event. Admission will take place on the day of the event one hour before the event begins. Please have your ticket ready for this.
