SUMMARY:Kulturküche: Bier-Rettich Class
DESCRIPTION:Radishes\, not just for Oktoberfest………. \nWhile radishes have roots beyond Southern Germany\,  Oktoberfest has inspired many to try white German “Bier-rettich”. \nRon Eberle grew up in Lincoln Square and attended St. Matthias School.  Son of a German immigrant from Bavaria.  He was first introduced to spiraled white radishes by his Opa during visits to America in the 1970s. Since that first introduction in the backyard of his childhood home on Hamilton Street\, Ron has shared his family’s recipe for preparing white radishes with many friends\, always to the same delight and surprise.  Come learn how to make this salad garnish the main event for a refreshing snack with a beer and pretzel.   \nFee: We are pleased to offer a discounted rate for Friends of the DANK Haus (What’s this?)

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

SUMMARY:Journey Chicago: That Belongs in a Museum! Suitcase Stories
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of Journey Chicago\, the Chicago Cultural Alliance’s annual citywide festival of cross-cultural events. \nEvery object has a story. And if it’s a cherished object that invokes our cultural identity\, the story is even more salient. It jogs our memory\, reminds us of close relationships\, takes us back in time and place. But these objects rely on us to tell their story. The premise of That Belongs in a Museum is simple: bring an object that speaks to your cultural identity or migration experience\, share the story behind it with our audience\, and tell why it belongs in a museum- real or imaginary. An earring passed down by grandma\, a faded map\, a family heirloom\, a keepsake (think Saris\, Glücksbringer\, a snippet of a Persian carpet\, monogrammed chopsticks\, prayer flags etc.) We will curate our own little exhibition of everyday objects from everyday people\, right on stage! \nSo look around the house\, the storage closet\, under the bed\, and inside the treasure chest to find the object that speaks to your cultural heritage. You will have 5 minutes on stage and convince the audience that it belongs in a museum. Join the other tellers who will share their funny\, emotional\, and poignant stories of the objects close to their heart. \nHere’s what you should say: \n\n What you brought\, even if it is obvious.\n Why you think it is neat.\n If you could summon a genie to put it in a museum–any museum–even if you had to make a new kind of museum for it to go in\, what that would be.\n\nThat Belongs in a Museum is brought to you by collaboration between Dank Haus\, The Abrahamic Center for Cultural Education (ACCE)\, and the National Indo-American Museum (NIAM). This trio of cultural institutions has come together with the support of the Chicago Cultural Alliance to celebrate the Journey Chicago festival. \nYour $5 ticket includes light refreshments and drinks. Please bring objects that will fit through the door and\, ideally\, you can hold it in your hand. No hazardous or illegal materials. We will choose 10 storytellers on a first come first served basis. \n
