  • SANTIANO Live 2018 in Kooperation Mit Der ICS Festival Service Gmbh
    Im Auge des Sturms SANTIANO Live 2018 in Kooperation mit der ICS Festival Service GmbH Aktuell spielt SANTIANO ihre restlos ausverkaufte Sommer „live und Open Air“ Tournee 2017. Seit Monaten sind schon keine Tickets für dieses Live Erlebnis mehr erhältlich. Wie es sich gehört, folgt nun auf die Ruhe der Unplugged-Tournee im Frühjahr, wieder der große Sturm. 2018 hisst die Band wieder die großen Segel und macht Halt in den großen Arenen Deutschlands. Mit dabei, ihr neues Album „Im Auge des Sturms“ (VÖ 13.10.17, Electrola). Wenn sie auf die Bühne gehen, dann kreischen die Möwen, dann peitscht der Wind, dann bäumt sich das Schiff im Sturm auf. Egal ob in Flensburg am Meer oder in München, weit weg vom Salzwasser - SANTIANO live ist eine Naturgewalt. Deutschlands erfolgreichste Band steht seit ihrer Gründung für Mannschaftsgeist und den Glauben an höhere Ziele. Auf dem vierten Studio Album loten SANTIANO die Grenzen ihrer Welt aus: Seite an Seite mit den großen Entdeckern und Abenteurern der Geschichte stoßen die Männer aus dem Norden dabei ohne Scheu bis in die Tiefen der Meere vor. Wenn SANTIANO auf Tour ist, dann machen sie keine halben Sachen, das kann jeder in ihrem „Logbuch“ nachlesen, das die Band schon seit 2013 für ihre Fans führt. Dort zeigt sich oft genug per Videobotschaft, was vor und hinter der Bühne auf einem Konzert von SANTIANO passiert. Dass sich am Spaß der Mannschaft rein gar nichts geändert hat, dass sie noch immer scherzen, improvisieren, mit dem Publikum auf Tuchfühlung gehen und unterwegs manche Panne verfluchen. Nur die Häfen, welche die Santiano anläuft, haben sich über die Jahre geändert.

  • Helene Fischer Live 2017/2018
    HELENE FISCHER LIVE 2017/2018 Das neue, atemberaubende Kapitel einer einmaligen Live-Karriere: Die Arena-Show zum 2017 erscheinenden Album – designed by 45 DEGREES, eine Abteilung von CIRQUE DU SOLEIL Sie ist die erfolgreichste Künstlerin Europas und hat in den letzten Jahren sämtliche Rekorde im deutschsprachigen Musikgeschäft gebrochen. Im Rahmen ihrer letzten Live-Tournee zum Erfolgsalbum „Farbenspiel“ konnte sie über 1,2 Millionen Zuschauer begeistern. Aber nicht nur die Größenordnung ihrer Tournee, sondern vor allem auch die bombastische, fantasievolle und atemberaubende Inszenierung der Bühnenshows, hält jedem internationalen Vergleich mühelos stand. Die Live-Shows von Helene Fischer sind seit jeher immer etwas ganz Besonderes gewesen, und man kann sicher ohne Übertreibung behaupten, dass sie in den letzten Jahren nochmals neue Maßstäbe gesetzt und ein gänzlich eigenes Genre kreiert hat. „Für mich ist es das Schönste an meinem Beruf, live vor Publikum, mit meiner Band und meinen Tänzern auftreten zu können. Wir wollen den Fans einfach einen schönen, ja vielleicht unvergesslichen Abend bereiten“, sagt die Ausnahmekünstlerin. In der spektakulären und komplett neu designten Show, die gemeinsam mit 45 DEGREES – a divison of CIRQUE DU SOLEIL entwickelt wurde, präsentiert die Künstlerin ihr aktuelles Hit-Album live vor großem Publikum – genauso wie viele weitere Lieblingssongs ihrer Fans. Helene Fischer versetzt mit ihrer Show ihr Publikum allerdings nicht nur musikalisch in Ekstase, sondern sorgte darüber hinaus auch mit ihren beeindruckenden akrobatischen Fähigkeiten für außergewöhnliche Höhepunkte in einer neuen ungeahnten Dimension. Das wochenlange Training mit professionellen Akrobatik-Coaches im kanadischen Montreal zahlte sich aus: Scheinbar schwere- und mühelos fliegt sie in etwa zehn Metern Höhe über dem Boden und führt mit ihrem Akrobatik-Partner ein atemberaubendes Luft-Ballett auf.

Twins history began in 1961 when Washington Senators president Calvin Griffith made the historic decision to move his family’s team to the Midwest, settling on the Minneapolis/St. Paul area in Minnesota. The new team was named after the state’s famous Twin Cities and began their inaugual season with a talented roster featuring Harmon Killebrew, Bob Allison, Camilo Pascual, and Jim Lemon. Homegrown talents Jim Kaat, Zoilo Versalles, Jimmie Hall, and Tony Oliva combined with the Twins already potent nucleus to make the team a force to be reckoned with in the 1960s.

Nowadays, documentary cinema largely belongs to the domain of television where it readily reaches a mass network audience. The Polish Film Institute however, is convinced of universal appeal of factual film and puts a particular emphasis on supporting documentary films which are primarily intended for cinema release. We wish to restore Polish documentaries to a place in cinema repertoires that they occupied in former years, with their power to move, to disturb and above all to give a constructive and universal testimony to present times.

It may express itself in a morally justified and socially accepted action. However, in a situation when it serves destruction or represents the civilisation of death, it becomes morally reprehensible and is contested as such.
