SUMMARY:World Peace Through Humor: A German 101
DESCRIPTION:Need a good laugh in crazy times? Well lucky you: Paco Erhard brings you comedy that makes you feel sane again. Since 2016\, Paco has made us laugh hard many times with his famous 5-Step Guide to Being German. Now\, we are delighted to announce that Paco is returning to the DANK Haus with a sparkling new show that has already been called “chaotically funny” and “stand-up genius” by reviewers in the US and worldwide. \nIn his new show\, Paco finally turns his Teutonic wit on his cherished new home: America. Traveling all over the US since 2022\, he has gathered hilariously mischievous jokes\, tongue-in-cheek opinions\, and “only in America” observations through a German lens that will make you roll on the floor laughing. \nMix this with unheard-of stories and life lessons from his travels around the world and Paco’s trademark message of “we can all learn from each other”\, and you get an evening to laugh away the madness\, be inspired\, and feel good again. \nP.S. If you love German Karneval\, this is the perfect show for you – it’s like one big Büttenrede\, the traditional German Karneval comedy performance lampooning life\, people\, politics\, and all the things that have happened throughout the year. So… come live it up and laugh it up with this Büttenrede. Helau! Alaaf! Und Prost! \nP.P.S. Don’t worry – “a German comedian” is actually not one of the signs of the apocalypse. We checked. Phew!

SUMMARY:Starkbierfest Open Haus
DESCRIPTION:Friday March 17th is a night of fun at our Open Haus! This month’s theme is Starkbierfest! We will have German Bier on tap and food for purchase!  \nAfter the debauchery of Faschingszeit (carnival season)\, we have started into Fastenzeit (lent). Fortify yourself for this time of austereness by trying some “liquid food” – the genius invention of 17th century Paulaner monk Salvator who decided to help his fasting brothers by brewing a batch of “strong beer” which was rich in nutrients and calories. \nTo this day\, all of Bavaria’s breweries create a version of Starkbier during lent. Just like the originator\, Salvator from the Paulaner Brewery\, most varieties end with the “-ator” appendix: Optimator\, Triumphator\, Maximator\, Terminator\, and countless others. During our March Stammtisch Open Haus you can taste some of those delicious brews. \nOur Open Haus is a great way to meet new friends\, or bring your friends and introduce them to the Haus! This event is located in our popular 2nd Floor Brauhaus. \nFree parking at 5/3 Bank after 6:00 PM located at Western and Gunnison

SUMMARY:Wagner's Nightmare: A Piano & Violin Recital
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, February 25th for Wagner’s Nightmare. Wagner’s Nightmare is a tongue-in-cheek send-up to the most controversial and influential artist of all time\, Richard Wagner. It’s culmination is here\, in an album of music Wagner would not like. \nFor better or for worse\, incendiary opinions\, vitriolic identity politics\, and polarizing depictions of national identity are some of the most prevalent themes in today’s discourse. Whether we are enthralled by this mania or exhausted by it\, we cannot escape it. In this emaciated public landscape\, depleted of empathy and nuance\, artists are in a unique position to comment both as insiders and observers to this arena. \nWith this in mind\, we are proud to present this recital tour as the culmination of a nearly two year project in which we reveled in one of classical music’s most incendiary\, vitriolic\, and polarizing figures: Richard Wagner. The man and his music are iconic\, absurd\, and influential…and so are the controversies and outrage that have surrounded him since he set pen to paper. Through essays\, podcasts\, videos on special themes\, and a full length album (released on February 16\, 2023) Wagner’s Nightmare explores in a light-hearted manner\, the reasons why Wagner is so widely admired and roundly derided. There is one theme which unites all these varied activities: whatever we do somehow always circles around a something Wagner famously hated. \nWe hope that by approaching Wagner with equal amounts of praise and pot-shots\, respect and ridicule\, sincerity and satire\, our audiences will reflect on how they themselves regard today’s polarizing\, overwrought\, and sometimes absurd social climate. \nMusical Program will Include: \nMusic by…Johannes Brahms\, Richard Wagner\, Franz Liszt\, Erik Satie…and more! \nDaniel Orsen is a violist in the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra\, prior to which he freelanced in Boston where he performed with A Far Cry\, the Boston Symphony Orchestra\, Fermata Chamber Soloists\, and the Phoenix Chamber Orchestra\, and was the artistic dire ctor of Jamaica Plain Chamber Music. Daniel has performed Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra\, and appeared as soloist with the Fermata Chamber Soloists and Oberlin Contemporary Music Ensemble. His festival credits include Krzyzowa\, Ravinia\, Prussia Cove\, Verbier\, and the Perlman Music Program. Daniel has an interest in cultural and intellectual history\, which is manifesting itself here\, in Wagner’s Nightmare. His writing has also been published in The Anglican Way and The Journal of the American Viola Society.  \nDaniel is a native of Pittsburgh\, PA. He was taught and mentored by members of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra\, Credo\, and the Perlman Music Program before his Conservatory with Kim Kashkashian. He plays on a 2013 Philip Injeian viola and a 2014 Benoit Rolland bow\, both specially made for him. \nWith regular engagements in festivals\, concert series\, and competitions in both Europe and the United States\, French-American pianist Pierre-Nicolas Colombat has been recognized by audiences and international juries alike for his collaborative artistry. After publishing his doctoral dissertation (Boston University)\, he moved to Basel\, Switzerland to continue his studies with Jan Schutsz. Through his work as a concert organizer\, writer\, and performer Colombat actively seeks out creative ways to bring the living heritage of classical music into the 21st century. His main duo partners include Daniel Orsen (violist)\, Kathrin Hottiger (soprano)\, and Vinicius Costa (bass-baritone). \nCost: \nFriends of DANK Haus (what is this?): $15\nGeneral Public: $20 \nPlease Note: Free parking is located at 5/3 Bank located at Western and Gunnison Avenue.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Two Girls
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of Chicago director James Fotopoulos’s film “Two Girls.” \nThis is the story of young sisters in the American Midwest left alone with their increasingly unstable mother while their father is fighting in the Civil War. The film traces the girls’ naturally fraught sibling dynamic and the ways that their father’s absence ignites their imagination. When they meet a stranger in the forest they become enchanted by a world of creative work and nature\, a welcome distraction from their volatile mother. Play and the dreamlike space they inhabit provides an expansive and ultimately grounding setting for the girls’ response to war. \nFilmed in Chicago\, this work is an experimentation on a children’s fairy tale. Two Girls features German actress Isolda Dychauk. \nThis event is available for free. \nView the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfREVF44G-w \n“Fotopoulos is a notably talented\, prolific\, and obsessive filmmaker.” – Amy Taubin\, Artforum \n“Perhaps no other moviemaker so categorically denies compartmentalization\, falsifying dichotomies of underground and art film\, narrative and abstraction\, and black box and white cube\, while unabashedly appropriating\, celebrating\, and upturning the conventions of the horror\, sci-fi\, hardboiled\, and melodramatic genres.” – Fantasma: A James Fotopoulos Retrospective – Spectacle \n“Fotopoulos is certainly an auteur who makes up in artistic integrity what he forgoes in mainstream appeal …his films are imbued with unparalleled aplomb.” – Mapping the Obscure: James Fotopoulos Retrospective – Cine-File \n“Fotopoulos\, a filmmaker whose visions are as audacious as they are uncompromising.” – RogerEbert.com \n“There is no shot in a Fotopoulos film or video that does not mine the psychological affect of the frame\, the camera placement\, the lighting\, the lens. ” – Screen Slate \n100 min\nEnglish and German (with subtitles) \nFree parking at 5/3 Bank after 6:00 PM located at Western and Gunnison
