Tango flash mob: Radolfzell’s Tango Argentino scene presents itself

The project tango flashmob takes place on May 16 at around 11 a.m. on the market square in Radolfzell. Two Argentinian tango musicians, a bandoneonist and a guitarist, start playing tango music as if it were a street concert. People come closer to listen to the tango duo. Suddenly, a couple starts dancing. They dance for a minute and then separate to invite two more people to dance with them. These two couples dance for another minute and then separate again to invite four more people, and so on until the place is full of dancing couples. It’s like a snowball that gets bigger and bigger. Afterwards, the talented dancers invite the inexperienced to a short tango course led by Argentinian teacher Rafael Mendaro.

Mögging Castle Festival

SOLD OUT

On the last weekend in June, the castle courtyard of the moated castle in Mögging will be the setting for the castle festival, revisiting the legendary open-air performances of the post-war period, the glittering highlight of which was the 1960 production for the 1,200th anniversary celebrations. This tradition was revived with the “Indian Princess” for Möggingen’s 1,250th anniversary celebrations in 2010 and the “Living Chess Spectacle” in 2017 on Möggingen’s village square. Among other things, this year’s play sheds light on the quartering of French officers in the castle, the involvement of individual residents of Mögging in the National Socialist movement, interpersonal conflicts during the occupation and the persistence of right-wing extremist ideas to the present day. However, the title of this year’s play “Albinle the Castle Ghost” suggests that it won’t just be about serious things. In addition to the theater performance, there will be musical entertainment afterwards: the “Alläfänzigä” from Immendingen on June 26 and the band “Sound Kitchen” on June 27. The program is complemented by a children’s afternoon on Saturday, food and drink stands (“Möggingen kocht”) and a castle illumination at the end of each performance.

Children’s program in the Petite Cigale creative workshop

The Petite Cigale association has created a space in Markelfingen where children can be creative.

(W)Places write history – connecting stories: writing and reading for everyone

For over three years, eight women who couldn’t be more different have been writing together regularly: the “Miteinander schreiben” group. The women meet twice a month at the TeggIn meeting point at Teggingerstraße 10 to get creative together. For their readings as part of the town’s anniversary celebrations, the writing group went in search of personalities who are important to Radolfzell. Her texts show how many ways you can approach Radolfzell and the people who live and lived here through literature.

The eight women will present the results of their work at three readings, each with new texts: Saturday, March 14, 4 – 5:30 p.m. at the Diakonie multi-generation house at Teggingerstraße 16, Friday, June 12, 2 – 2:45 p.m. in Böhringen at Sägemühle 1 (outdoors) and Saturday, October 17, 11 a.m. – noon at the city library, Marktplatz 8. The reading at the multi-generation house will be accompanied by Christiane Hermann and Christina Bretzke on the accordion.

The project is a civic project sponsored by the city to mark the city’s anniversary. Thanks to the funding, the “Miteinander schreiben” group was able to hold various workshops under professional guidance: a theater pedagogy training course to train voice, expression and stage presence as well as workshops under the guidance of an experienced writing coach. The aim of the group is to experience the joy of writing together, to promote intergenerational dialog and to appeal to people of all ages and from different cultural backgrounds and to inspire them to write. Anyone interested is cordially invited to come to the group meetings. Info: Mehrgenerationenhaus der Diakonie, Tel. 7732 952786.
