One of the notable depictions is that of Saint Christopher carrying Christ on his shoulders. The church stands majestically above the Eisack Valley, almost directly above the Eisack Gorge. It is visible from afar and is built on a site that once hosted prehistoric places of worship or settlements, which were later transformed into a Christian sanctuary

Bebelplatz. The Night of the Burned Books, with author Fabio Stassi in dialogue with Emanuela Scicchitano, headteacher at Istituto Comprensivo di Laives.

"Animali notturni" is the Italian-Austrian project of bassist Marco Stagni. Stagni is highly sought after for his solid and reliable bass playing and participates in numerous concerts with big names like Manuel Randi and Herbert Pixner. With "Night Animals," a nocturnal story awaits you, aiming to explore the darker corners of the human soul, balancing between instinct and reason, oscillating between excess and minimalism. But what kind of music do they play? One could say it's Slow-Jazz-Rock filled with emotions. Or that the musicians resemble a pack of different animals that, at four in the morning, sneak through a dark alley of a sleepy Italian town, walking on timeworn stones, heading to the fish market to capture a fresh sardine.

Gunkl is a philosopher among cabaret performers, a brain acrobat under whose spell the audience enjoys the pleasure of thinking. Both the artist and the spectators literally lose themselves in a world of thought where everything is allowed, as long as Gunkl hasn’t forbidden it. Gunkl immediately tackles the big, decisive questions. He expands horizons in a highly entertaining way, much appreciated by audiences and critics all over the German-speaking world. In a certain sense, we humans are a bit held hostage by auxiliary verbs. Not so much by the words themselves, but by what they describe: power, duty, will – concepts that define the limits of our actions. Someone who knows everything and can do everything, but doesn't want anything, will do nothing. Unless they have to. But in that case, they will only do the bare minimum until they are no longer required to. And if they really know everything and can do everything, they will find a way to have to do less and less, until eventually, they will do nothing at all. And living like that… well, one has to truly want it.
