Lying Party in Bochum: Truth, Deception, and Plenty of Participatory Energy

On November 27, 2026, the Theaterrevier in Bochum will transform into an interactive negotiation space for truth and lies. At the Lying Party, the audience aged ten and over will not just watch, but will join the ensemble and Drama Control to become the big lie detector.

Interactive Search for Truth Instead of Silent Spectatorship

Turbo Pascal and Drama Control bring an unusual theater format to the stage: Everyone can think along, discuss, and vote. True or false – the audience decides and experiences how quickly opinions, assertions, and supposed facts can change.

Fake News, Everyday Lies, and Alternative Truths

The performance addresses themes that are central to our everyday lives: fabricated stories on social networks, alternative facts, little cheating, and the question of whether a common truth even exists. This results in an energetic club experience of a different kind – focused, playful, and full of surprising twists.

Turbo Pascal with Strong Expertise in Interactive Theater

The Berlin theater and performance collective Turbo Pascal has been continuously working on participatory formats since 2008. The group has been active at venues such as Sophiensælen, HAU, Deutsches Theater, and Theater an der Parkaue. The production Evil Houses was invited to the piece market of the Berliner Theatertreffen 2018 and won the Tabori Prize. Differentiating Yourselves received the Ikarus Prize in 2019.

Atmosphere at Theaterrevier

At Theaterrevier on the site of the Zeche Eins, industrial Ruhr area atmosphere meets modern young theater. Instead of a DJ set and sound system, the focus here is on voices, votes, and the immediate energy of the crowd. The tension arises from every decision in the room – a dance floor mood for the mind, where no one simply sits aside.

What Visitors Can Expect

The performance is aimed at people aged ten and over and combines theater, play, and societal debate. The format invites participants to question their own positions, examine arguments, and jointly discover with the ensemble what is really true.

Conclusion: Lying Party promises a lively, surprising, and interactive theater experience in Bochum. Those who want to engage in the search for truth not from a safe distance but live can expect a unique cultural event at Theaterrevier with energy, closeness, and conversation material.
