un:babbel Musikland Niedersachsen // Veranstaltungstechnik

In the organizer's words:

Two people from Hanover's music world meet people they have never met before at the Musik Kiosk. In an open exchange, they and the audience discover similarities, differences and surprising things about their activities. It's about professional and personal matters - a colorful evening of conversation at eye level.
On July 17, we will shine the spotlight on two women from the world of event technology who are shaping very different stages in Hanover: Ilka Licht, technical director at Staatstheater Hannover, and Theresa Schmidt from KLUGE Technik.
"Even as a child, I was always on the go at Café Glocksee," recalls Theresa Schmidt. "My mother cooked for the bands - at some point I was behind the bar myself." Today, she is one of the few women who, in addition to lighting and sound, also works with lasers and even pyrotechnics on Hanover's stages. As a Lindener Orginal, she works from her warehouse in the old gramophone factory, where the world's first record was once pressed.
Ilka Licht, on the other hand, returned to Hanover last year - as technical director, she is now responsible for the processes in the opera, Schauspielhaus and Ballhof. With various technical teams, she ensures that everything runs smoothly on, around and behind the stage, as well as providing the best possible conditions for all performers and musicians.
An evening between cable clutter, careers and the cultural industry: how they both got into their professions, what drives them and how they assert themselves in an often male-dominated industry - all this and more awaits the audience.
