A dystopian music theater evening that electrifies Bochum

Rebel Rebel brings the Ruhrtriennale to the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum on August 23, 2026, with a powerful world premiere on stage. The music theater by Ivo Van Hove, inspired by David Bowie, combines music, dance, and a dark contemporary diagnosis into an intense event experience.

Between resistance, love, and great imagery

At the center is a young love that asserts itself against an oppressive order. The production tells of violence, isolation, and the longing for closeness – with musical direction by Henry Hey and choreography by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. The result is an evening with strong audience atmosphere, visual impact, and clear targeting for fans of music theater, performance, and modern stage art.

A festival moment in an industrial space

The Ruhrtriennale has been focusing on extraordinary venues of industrial culture for years, and the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum provides the suitable backdrop. The monumental space, special acoustics, and festival atmosphere create a setting where sound, movement, and light impressively condense. Here, the production unfolds its emotional tension.

Precisely organized for a relaxed visit

Entry begins with plenty of time for orientation on site: An introduction takes place 45 minutes before the start in the upper foyer of the Jahrhunderthalle. The event is expected to last around two hours. Those arriving by public transport will benefit from the combined ticket in the VRR; for those driving, parking options are available at Westpark. This ensures thoughtful event planning and a comfortable arrival.
