Check-in at the Grand Hotel of Emotions
On November 14, 2026, a very special house opens its doors at the Theaterrevier Bochum: The Grand Hotel of Emotions invites children from four years old and adults to a poetic journey through the human emotional world. The premiere begins at 4:00 PM.
Where every feeling is welcome
Based on the picture book by Lidia Branković, the production tells of a hotel manager who warmly welcomes her unusual guests. Anger needs a lot of space, sadness makes the bathroom overflow, love fills the rooms with light and laughter. Each feeling receives its own space and voice.
Dramaturgy at eye level
The stage adaptation by Maria Trautmann and Drama Control combines acting, music, and young theater into a sensual stage experience. Director Maria Trautmann develops a production together with the ensemble that does not explain children's emotions but makes them visible, audible, and immediately experienceable.
An international picture book on stage
Lidia Branković's picture book has been translated internationally and serves as the basis for a theatrical story that perceives feelings as temporary yet important guests in one’s own life. The Bochum production continues this idea with stage design by Isabela Voicu, costumes by Esther van de Pas, compositions by Maika Küster, and dramaturgical support by Isabel Stahl.
Theater atmosphere for young audiences
With Lea Kallmeier, Stacyian Jackson, and Jakob Schmidt, a lively play world emerges between hotel lobby, emotion space, and fantasy landscape. The acting is aimed at a young audience while taking the accompanying adults seriously. Thus, the audience's reactions become part of the evening: wonder, laughter, and recognition meet in the shared theater space.
Conclusion: Check-in and empathize
The Grand Hotel of Emotions promises a heartfelt, musical, and visually rich stage experience for people from four years old. Those wanting to better understand emotions and discover theater as a shared experience will find a premiere with special closeness to the audience at Theaterrevier.
