A spooky and beautiful ghost hunt around the KoFabrik

When the shadows grow longer on Halloween afternoon, an extraordinary stage experience for the whole family begins at Imbuschplatz. In the interactive theater walk Ghost Hunters at Imbuschplatz, the audience leaves the traditional auditorium and becomes part of an adventurous performance around the KoFabrik.

Professor Holzapfel urgently needs help

Professor Dr. Frederik Holzapfel faces a monstrous problem: his ghost hunting team has been called to a seemingly simple job, but the situation spirals completely out of control. His student Emilia has been kidnapped by monsters, the ghost Eugen is trapped in a jar of jam, and seventeen full-grown werewolves confront the professor.

The dramaturgy combines imaginative storytelling, movement in public spaces, and immediate audience participation. Children and adults follow the story not from a safe distance, but actively help to survive the extraordinary ghost hunt.

Theater atmosphere between KoFabrik and Imbuschplatz

The scenery is created from the surroundings themselves: paths, façades, archways, and squares become stations of a lively open-air performance. Halloween figures, monsters, and ghosts encounter an urban backdrop, where every sound, every shadow, and every movement becomes part of the theatrical atmosphere.

The direction focuses on playful tension instead of lasting horror. This creates a family-friendly blend of acting, imagination, and joint movement. The proximity to the action makes the theater walk a sensory stage experience filled with surprising moments and direct audience reaction.

Family theater with courage, wit, and imagination

The play is aimed at families with children from about four years old. The story of Emilia, Eugen, Professor Holzapfel, and the werewolves combines fright with humor and invites everyone to go beyond the ordinary together. The collaboration of Theater Löwenherz and the neighborhood hall of KoFabrik brings professional stage art to an unusual performance venue.

Conclusion: Halloween becomes a shared adventure

Anyone who wants to experience Halloween as a living theater walk will find here a imaginative alternative to classic stage formats. Come to KoFabrik, join the ghost hunting crew, and help Professor Holzapfel free Emilia and Eugen from the monstrous mess.
