hello nobody: A Road Trip in Verses through a Torn Present
On November 22, 2026, the Oval Office of the Schauspielhaus Bochum transforms into the starting point of an unusual journey through Germany. hello nobody combines political satire, contemporary poetry, and theater into an intense event experience full of absurd wit, sharp observations, and disturbing current relevance.
A red Audi, a big political journey
At the center is a hero who sets off in a red Audi A6 from Vienna to Berlin to become Chancellor. His route takes him through highway rest stops, Penny parking lots, demonstrations, a circus site, and finally into a police interrogation room. The journey becomes a theatrical mirror of a society in which political certainties, personal identity, and the search for truth are constantly slipping away.
Political satire meets poetic stage energy
Yevgeniy Breyger's narrative long poem connects fast-paced scenes with lyrical density. Encounters with quirky characters, religious figures, and well-known personalities from German politics open up new perspectives on war, social tensions, faith, sexuality, and the injury of body and mind. The direction by Lucien Strauch relies on a quirky mix of road movie, word art, and contemporary theater.
An author with a multiple award-winning voice
Yevgeniy Breyger, born in 1989 in Kharkiv, is one of the formative voices of contemporary German-language poetry. For his literary work, he has received, among others, the Christine Lavant Prize, the Klopstock Prize for new literature, and the Literature Prize of the German Economy. Press reviews also emphasize the sharp-tongued engagement of the work with a reality that is out of joint.
Live in the Oval Office of the Schauspielhaus Bochum
The premiere takes place in the Oval Office, a venue of the Schauspielhaus Bochum with a special focus on contemporary theater forms. The intimate atmosphere supports the immediate audience mood: language, political friction, and dark humor unfold their effect close to the action.

Conclusion: A journey that lingers
hello nobody takes the audience through a rapid, comic, and simultaneously disturbing landscape of the present. Between road trip, poem, and political theater, an evening emerges that makes questions of identity, responsibility, and social reality immediately tangible. Those who want to experience contemporary stage art with linguistic energy and social depth should attend this evening live in the Oval Office.
