An intense evening of theater with impact, pace, and dark fascination
With Clockwork Orange, the Schauspielhaus Bochum brings one of the most provocative works of modernity to its main stage on October 2, 2026. The premiere combines literary source material, powerful imagery, and a captivating theater atmosphere for an evening that resonates long after.
A work that gets under your skin
Anthony Burgess's cult novel meets a staging that does not place violence, power, freedom, and social control side by side, but makes them immediately tangible. The story of Alex and his gang unfolds as a dark panorama of an insecure present - fast, angular, and full of friction.
Large venue, significant impact
The Schauspielhaus Bochum has been one of the most important stages for contemporary theater in the German-speaking world for more than a hundred years. With up to 800 seats, a clear municipal theater identity, and strong ensemble work, it creates precisely the audience atmosphere that an intense play needs: focused, close, and electrifying.
Direction, ensemble, and artistic signature
Claudia Bossard is responsible for the staging. On stage are Puk Brouwers, Danai Chatzipetrou, Oliver Möller, Nina Steils, Mona Vojacek Koper, Alexander Wertmann, and Jing Xiang. The result promises a precise interplay of acting, music, video, and light - a clear invitation to all who love strong directorial theater and bold subjects.
Atmosphere between Beethoven and abyss
The Bochum production relies on contrasts: beauty and threat, art and violence, seduction and defense. This is exactly where the evening draws its tension from. Those who take on this event experience theater as an immediate experience - with high emotional density and clear social relevance.
Location, travel, and visitor comfort
The play will take place at the Schauspielhaus Bochum at Königsallee 15 in 44789 Bochum. For arrival, parking is available in the P9 parking garage at the Schauspielhaus, and accessibility is ensured. Wheelchair seats and accessible entrances are available; timely reservation is advisable.
Conclusion: Clockwork Orange promises a demanding, visually striking theater evening with enormous presence. Those looking for strong stories, intense characters, and great performances should experience this premiere live.
