Dank des großen Erfolges der Vorjahresveranstaltung zum Friedrichjahr wiederholt der Verein Höfische Festspiele Potsdam gemeinsam mit der Stiftung preussische Schlösser und Gärten das barocke Reitspektakel "Caroussel de Sanssouci". Die Hofreitschule Bückeburg sorgt für die grandiose Barockreiterei, die Ensembles Celeste Sirene Potsdam und die Potsdamer Turmbläser musizieren, die Ensembles Jardin des Epoques und Potsdamer Rokoko zeigen höfischen Tanz, Vokalsolisten verbreiten Opernstimmung und Schauspieler entführen sie zurück ins Jahr 1750.

Im schönen Barockgarten des ehemaligen Klosters Heiligenstadt in Thüringen findet am 6. Juli ab 21 Uhr die Tanznacht statt. Von der Gotik bis zum Tango können sie Tanz und Kostüme der jeweiligen Epochen vor der großartigen Kulisse des Klosters erleben. Es tanzen das Ensemble historischer Tanz UdK Berlin unter Leitung von Jutta Voss mit Niels Badenhop als Gasttänzer. Den musikalischen Teil übernehmen das Vokalensemble Amarchord, sowie das Orchester "Lautten Compagney" aus Berlin unter der Leitung von Wolfgang Katschner.

Chess, based on J. Kochanowski's peom, is a ballet and pantomime performance with music of the Polish, Italian and French Renaissance. The poem is presented to the audience through dance, pantomime and the spoken word. The ingenious and humorous text reveals the genuine feelings and emotions of the characters, while the vivid and dynamic plot provides ideal material for a performance based on Renaissance dance and pantomime movement.

This performance transports the viewer into the magical world of the Polish cinema of the interwar period.
