Checking into the colorful world of feelings
At the Theaterrevier Bochum, The Grand Hotel of Feelings opens a poetic stage space for children from four years old. The staging based on the picture book by Lidia Branković invites you to receive anger, sadness, joy, fear, and gratitude attentively, rather than pushing them away. On Wednesday, December 2, 2026, the imaginative stage experience begins at 10:00 AM.
When emotions become guests
In the Grand Hotel of Feelings, each emotion has its own character. Anger needs space and makes a loud entrance, sadness speaks softly and can overflow entire rooms. Some feelings appear colorful and powerful, while others remain invisible at first. The dramaturgy turns these inner states into acting figures and opens a sensory access for young viewers to their own emotional world.
Music, movement, and acting artistry
Director Maria Trautmann develops a stage adaptation together with Drama Control that combines acting, music, and movement. The set design by Isabela Voicu, costumes by Esther van de Pas, and composition by Maika Küster create a changeable theatrical atmosphere. Light, sound, and physical play give feelings a visible form and make the stage pulse between exuberant energy, quiet moments, and surprising mood shifts.
Young theater at eye level
The original by Lidia Branković has been translated into numerous languages and greets children and adults with great openness. The Bochum production picks up on this idea: No feeling is rejected; each one is given space and attention. This creates a clever, image-rich theater experience that encourages conversations about personal emotions after the performance.
The Theaterrevier as a special venue
The Theaterrevier in the former Prinz Regent coal mine connects industrial city history with contemporary children's and youth theater. In this striking environment, the Grand Hotel of Feelings unfolds its special stage effect: a protected place for shared wonder, laughter, contemplation, and recognition.
Conclusion: The Grand Hotel of Feelings promises a musical, moving, and poetic stage experience for young theater guests and their companions. Those who want to experience how feelings become visible, audible, and immediate on stage will find an inspiring invitation to check in at the Theaterrevier.
