Laboratories & Workshops

We offer you various labs and workshops in which you can playfully try yourself out on and behind the stage. While the workshops offer you the opportunity to get a taste of different areas of theater work, in the labs we work together to create a play that will be performed in front of an audience. The rehearsals of the labs take place at least once a week and include intensive rehearsal blocks. Participation is free of charge.

Lab II

PREMIERE on May 12 at 7 p.m. / Ruhrorterstraße 108-110

"Let them hear chaos" - Performance with lyrics by Kae Tempest.

Kae Tempest's album "Let them eat chaos" is an angry call to action, against social injustice, against brutalization and political violence, for more empathy, togetherness and hope in chaos. Based on this album and other poems and songs by Kae Tempest, the youth from Lab II improvised and created a wild collage of texts and sounds. Chaos becomes audible and tells of divine, young, old, fictional and experienced stories. "The stories are there, just listen."
