Why is the concert and theater hall in the UpH actually called “222”? It's simple: Because that's the number of the room it's in.
There used to be a prayer stool and a statue of Saint Francis inside; today the 222 is a really fine, "real" small hall with modern digital lighting and sound technology, a modular stage and 100 (seated) to 120 (without seats) seats. No wonder there's always something going on there: concerts, school theatre, Punch and Judy theatre, independent theatre, theater seminars, gigs by today's and tomorrow's stars, cabaret, improv, bands, comedy...
And if you don't just want to experience it, but want to play it yourself, that's also possible, because 222 can be rented if you can activate enough friends, acquaintances or strangers. Because the room does not cost rent, but depending on the day of the week and the time of day, you have to buy different minimum amounts of the normal 9 € drinks machine flat rate in order to be able to use the room and decide who is allowed in:
weekday | time | minimum amount |
---|---|---|
Mon-Thu | 11am-3pm | 10 vending machine flat rates |
3pm-7pm | 10 vending machine flat rates | |
7pm-10pm | 25 vending machine flat rates | |
Fr | 11am-3pm | 10 vending machine flat rates |
3pm-7pm | 15 vending machine flat rates | |
7pm-11pm | 50 vending machine flat rates | |
on | 11am-3pm | 15 vending machine flat rates |
3pm-7pm | 15 vending machine flat rates | |
7pm-11pm | 50 vending machine flat rates | |
So | 11am-3pm | 15 vending machine flat rates |
3pm-7pm | 15 vending machine flat rates | |
7pm-10pm | 25 vending machine flat rates |
alternative: You can also rent the room normally, then we will put out the chairs and prepare everything. Costs in this case 1350 € up to 4 Hours / 1950€ up to 8th Hours
Are you interested in a living room concert or an artistic performance in an open space, without obligation? Bands and artists who are not yet so famous are welcome to play and perform with us. We don't pay a fee or accommodation, but 4 people get free drinks, something to eat and are allowed to "pass the hat around". Of course we also do advertising, but in principle we are a place where a lot depends on you. We are interested in active people.
