Premiere der Pennyless Players, noch drei weitere Vorstellungen an diesem Wochenende

Die Pennyless Players, die studentische Theatergruppe des Instituts für Anglistik der Universität Graz, meldet sich zurück: mit „Clown Bar“ von Adam Szymkowicz. Premiere feierte die Inszenierung der Detektivgeschichten-Persiflage gestern, am 12. März 2020. Regie führt El(l)i Schneider, bereits durch andere erfolgreiche Produktionen der Pennyless Players bekannt ("1984", "Wyrd Sisters", "Trojan Barbie")

„Clown Bar“ handelt von einem ehemaligen Clown Happy (Benjamin Daniczek), der, jetzt Polizist, den Mörder seines Bruders sucht - und dafür in die Welt des organisierten Clownverbrechens zurückkehren muss. Man stelle sich vor: Pulp Fiction meets Cabaret meets Film Noir meets Clowns. Klingt skurril? Ist es auch!

In einem spritzigen Cocktail aus Komödie, Liebesdrama und Action tauchen BesucherInnen in die ominöse Clown Bar ein, die Schauplatz einer Reise in die Vergangenheit wird. Warum singt Dusty (Pascal Vötsch) solch traurige Lieder? Hat der Clownboss Bobo (Janos Lasselsberger) Happy vergeben? Und um welchen der zwei wickelt Blinky (Rachel McDonald) schließlich ihre Federboa? Diese und noch viele andere Geheimnisse werden im Stück gelüftet. In seinem Stück verwebt Szymkowicz geschickt grimmigen Noir-Alltag mit humorvoller Absurdität des Seins. Von Verrat und Mord über Freundschaft, alte Romanzen und die Beziehung zwischen zwei Brüdern, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten.

Wie immer werden alle Einnahmen der Pennyless Players werden an wohltätige Zwecke gespendet. Dieses Jahr geht der Reinerlös an die Clown Doctors der Roten Nasen. Allerdings blieb es dieses Mal bei der Premiere: Aufgrund der aktuellen Corona-Situation sind drei weitere geplante Aufführungen von „Clown Bar“ entfallen.

Jurassic Sounds: Biologist reconstructs insect songs from 165 million years ago

It was apparently not just the roars of the dinosaurs that made up the soundscape of the animal world during the Jurassic period. Crickets and grasshoppers communicated through a variety of songs and high-pitched sounds, as Thorin Jonsson from the Institute of Biology at the University of Graz discovered together with colleagues from the universities of Lincoln, Bristol (UK), Beijing (China) and Tempe (USA). The findings on what are so far the oldest traces of sound on Earth have just been published in the journal PNAS.

EU funding boosts international exchange between universities

Rescue and risks: Researchers have surveyed public perceptions of AI

The use of artificial intelligence has had to be made transparent since 2 August 2026. The EU’s AI Act, which has been in force since then, also sets out how risky an application is and which security measures apply as a result. However, the assessment of risks by the legislation differs in some cases significantly from the perceptions of the Austrian public. This is the finding of a representative study carried out by data scientist Stefan Thalmann from the University of Graz and his team.

The Healing Sea: Researchers discover new approaches to treating chronic inflammation in sponges

Chronic inflammation plays a key role in many diseases, ranging from metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases to tissue damage following injuries or infections. “Normally, the body is able to resolve inflammation on its own. If this process becomes unbalanced, immune cells remain permanently active and continue to drive negative changes in the tissue,” explains Andreas Koeberle, a pharmacist at the University of Graz.
