"Picasso at the Lapin Agile"

Die Pennyless Players laden ins "Lapin Agile", wo sich Einstein und Picasso gemeinsam betrinken und allerhand Skurriles passiert! Die nächsten Aufführungen: 22. und 23. Juni 2012.

Die Pennyless Players laden ins "Lapin Agile", wo sich Einstein und Picasso gemeinsam betrinken und allerhand Skurriles passiert! Die nächsten Aufführungen: 22. und 23. Juni 2012.

Die Pennyless Players inszenieren Steve Martins' Stück

Was wäre, wenn Albert Einstein und Pablo Picasso gemeinsam in einer französischen Bar abstürzen würden? Haben Sie sich je gefragt, ob drei Dimensionen wirklich ausreichen? Und wie hoch ist eigentlich der Marktwert von Gemälden mit Schafen, nackten Männern oder Jesus?

 

Das aktuelle Stück der "Pennyless Players", der Theatertruppe des Instituts für Anglistik der Uni Graz, beantwortet all diese Fragen - und strapaziert zudem die Lachmuskeln des Publikums. So bereits geschehen bei der ausverkauften Premiere von Steve Martins "Picasso at the Lapin Agile" am 16. Juni 2012 im Grazer Literaturhaus. 130 begeisterte ZuschauerInnen verfolgten das geistreiche und unterhaltsame Stück, das "sämtliche konventionelle Rahmen sprengt", wie Regisseurin Mag. Deborah Siebenhofer verriet.

 

Nach "The Dinner Guest", Christopher Marlowes "Dr. Faustus" (2008), "Scots on the Rocks", einer Parodie von William Shakespeares "MacBeth" (2009), "The Sonnet [Re]Cycle", Virginia Woolfes "Orlando" (2010) und Oscar Wildes "The Importance of Being Earnest" (2011) ist "Picasso at the Lapin Agile" bereits die siebente Produktion der ambitionierten Hobby-SchauspielerInnen. Das Besondere an den Aufführungen der "Pennyless Players": Alle Einnahmen kommen immer wohltätigen Zwecken zugute - dieses Mal der Notschlafstelle für Frauen (Caritas Graz) und den "Pennies for Peace" (Bildung für Kinder in Pakistan und Afghanistan).

 

Das Institut für Anglistik hat eine lange Charity-Tradition: So spendet das Institutsmagazin "Jaws" ebenfalls seit langen Jahren sämtliche Einnahmen an die Kinderkrebshilfe. Auch das durch Christmas Carol Singing, Bücherbasare und anderen Aktivitäten gesammelte Geld wird stets gespendet.



Die nächsten Termine für "Picasso at the Lapin Agile":
Freitag, 22., und Samstag, 23. Juni 2012, Einlass ab 19:30 Uhr, Beginn um 20 Uhr
Ort: Literaturhaus Graz, Elisabethstrasse 30
Karten: regulär 8 Euro, ermäßigt 5 Euro. Die Tickets sind am Institut für Anglistik, Heinrichstraße 36/2. Stock, oder an der Abendkasse erhältlich. Wer Karten reservieren möchte schickt bitte ein E-Mail an: pennylesstickets(at)gmail.com.

Austria’s emissions rose in 2025: University of Graz researchers analyse the causes

The Environment Agency Austria has today published the figures for the country’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2025. While emissions fell sharply year on year from 2022 to 2024, they rose again by just under 0.7 per cent in 2025. Researchers at the University of Graz have analysed how much of this increase was due to structural changes in the economy and how much was attributable to external factors over which there is little control. “In 2025, the colder winter compared with 2024 increased emissions by 0.81 per cent, while the weak economy reduced them by 0.38 per cent. If we factor out these influences, we find an underlying increase of 0.26 per cent compared with the previous year,” reports economist Karl Steininger. “This clearly means that Austria is not on track to meet its climate targets, which require a substantial reduction in emissions by 2030.”

Electrifying: Researchers film the first moments on the way from light to electricity

Physicists at the University of Graz (Austria), in collaboration with colleagues from Marburg University and Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany), have achieved a scientific breakthrough. For the first time, the generation of electrical energy from light has been filmed and described theoretically. This work is of far-reaching significance, not least for optimising sustainable energy production from photovoltaics. This is because it provides fundamental building blocks for understanding the physical processes that take place, for example, in organic solar cells. The paper was published in the journal Physical Review X, one of the world’s most prestigious physics journals.

How can we teach using YouTube and AI? The University of Graz is strengthening media education in schools

A journey through the blood vessels using VR headsets brings biology lessons to life. An interactive quiz brings physics to life. The YouTube video explains the First World War. Whilst mobile phones are increasingly being banned from the classroom, social media platforms, apps and AI are playing an ever-greater role in knowledge transfer at school. But how can teaching with media be made even more effective? What are the challenges in media-based teaching? At the University of Graz, researchers are discussing these issues at a conference being held in Austria for the first time.
