New Year's Eve at the Kammerspiel: The Favorite as a Sparkling Theater Evening in Bochum

On December 31, 2026, an evening full of power plays, rivalry, and pace opens in the Kammerspiele Bochum. The Favorite by Svenja Viola Bungarten takes you right into an office complex where five women and one man struggle for influence, recognition, and control. Directed by Tina Lanik, the play is presented as a precisely observed, contemporary theater experience.

What the Play is About

At the center are Franka König, known as the Queen, and Bettina von Fürstenberg, known as the Princess. Once friends, they have become bitter rivals. The hostile takeover of their companies, personal injuries, and family entanglements propel the plot forward. Thus, an evening emerges that deals with societal themes like career, motherhood, power, and female solidarity with keen insight.

Direction, Text, and Artistic Signature

Author Svenja Viola Bungarten tells the story with contemporary relevance and psychological precision. Tina Lanik brings this foundation into a clear, modern form that relies on strong characters, fast dialogues, and palpable audience atmosphere. The result is a theater evening that entertains and resonates equally.

The Unique Charm of New Year's Eve

The date on the last evening of the year adds extra excitement to the performance. The Kammerspiele provide the perfect setting: close, focused, and atmospherically dense. For those who want to start New Year's Eve not with party commotion but with a smart stage production, this offers an intense event experience with attitude and energy.

Voices of the Fans

Conclusion: A Theater Evening with Sharpness, Pace, and New Year's Flair

The Favorite promises a smart, powerful, and emotionally charged theater evening to conclude the year in Bochum. Those looking for strong roles, societal friction, and a special New Year's atmosphere should experience this season highlight live.
