The Salary Increase at the Kammerspiele Bochum: 90 Minutes of Sharp Negotiation Skills

On Saturday, May 23, 2026, the ensemble of Schauspielhaus Bochum will bring Georges Perec's acclaimed text 'The Salary Increase' to the stage of the Kammerspiele. An evening that dissects the art of demand with clear timing, precise language, and fine humor – compact, clever, and surprisingly relevant.

Wordplay, Rhythm, Tempo: This is how the Event Atmosphere Pulses

From the very first moment, the staging sharpens the senses: brief flashes, clear images, a nervously vibrating pulse. The audience's mood oscillates between chuckles and aha moments – an event experience that transforms office routine into stage drama.

Georges Perec Meets Precise Event Management

Under the direction of Albrecht Schroeder, Perec's text unfolds its comedic logic: What if the department head is not there? When the mood shifts? When the to-do list becomes longer than the conversation? The organization of the evening follows a clear dramatic arc – 90 minutes, no break, focused on language, performance, and audience engagement.

Fine Details, Strong Ensemble Work

A concentrated stage design, pointed costumes, acoustic accents: everything fits together. The ensemble plays with timing and precision, the punchlines hit – and yet there is room for quiet nuances. This creates a dense event experience that resonates.

Comfort for Your Theater Evening

The Kammerspiele are centrally located at Königsallee 15. Barrier-free access, inductive hearing systems, and designated parking options in the immediate vicinity support a relaxed arrival and comfortable stay. Admission takes place in the well-organized manner of the Schauspielhaus – clearly structured, service-oriented.

Conclusion

'The Salary Increase' delivers humor with brains and heart. 90 compact minutes that show how much dramaturgy is hidden in an office conversation. Experience precise language, intelligent performance, and a staging that sends you out of the theater with renewed courage – live in Bochum.
