hello nobody: A Poetic Road Trip Through the Present

On November 13, 2026, hello nobody will celebrate its premiere at the Oval Office of the Schauspielhaus Bochum. The evening combines theater, contemporary poetry, and political satire into an unusual report on Germany filled with absurd humor, dark contemporary diagnosis, and surprising shifts in perspective.

A red Audi, a great journey, and many open questions

At the center is a hero who sets off in a red Audi A6 from Vienna to Berlin to become the Chancellor. His route takes him through highway rest stops, Penny parking lots, demonstrations, a circus ground, and finally to a police interrogation room. The journey becomes a fast-paced stage course through political tensions, personal identity, and social contradictions.

Road trip in verses with an absurd view of reality

Yevgeniy Breyger's narrative long poem encounters the present with sharp linguistic wit and poetic energy. Quirky characters, religious figures, and familiar names from politics appear while the red Audi drives the action like an uneasy engine. Between humor, desperation, and megalomania, a theatrical atmosphere emerges that elicits laughter while also resonating.

Political satire meets personal search

hello nobody connects questions of identity, faith, and sexuality with the political circumstances of a time shaped by war and authoritarian notions of reality. Lucien Strauch's production relies on a direct, dynamic, and contemporary form. The Oval Office provides a variable space where text, play, drama, and social observation come together closely.

An award-winning author on the Bochum stage

Yevgeniy Breyger, born in 1989 in Kharkiv, is one of the defining contemporary poets in the German language. For his literary work, he has received, among other awards, the Christine-Lavant-Prize, the Klopstock-Prize for new literature, and the Literature Prize of the German Economy. With the premiere in Bochum, his long poem will be experienced as a theater evening for the first time.

Conclusion: A theater evening for curious observers of the present

The audience can expect an intense event experience between poetry, political satire, and an absurd road movie. The audience's mood is likely to fluctuate between liberating laughter, disconcerting proximity, and thoughtful calm. Those seeking contemporary theater, unusual stage forms, and linguistically strong texts will experience a special evening at the Oval Office, part of the event planning of the Schauspielhaus Bochum.
