An intense theater premiere at the Oval Office Bochum

The Yellow Wallpaper brings Charlotte Perkins Gilman's material into a dense, psychologically charged stage form and opens on June 5, 2026, at the Oval Office of the Schauspielhaus Bochum for an evening full of tension, intimacy, and suffocating atmosphere.

Between isolation and inner movement

At the center is a woman who retreats to a house in the countryside and falls under control, silence, and observation. From the confines of a room, an intense event experience develops that sharpens the view of power, care, and self-determination. The production focuses on strong images, concentrated acting, and an audience atmosphere that remains close to the action.

Leonie Mevissen debuts as director in Bochum

With The Yellow Wallpaper, Leonie Mevissen presents herself for the first time as a director to the Bochum audience. The production is part of the current schedule at the Schauspielhaus Bochum and will be shown in the Oval Office, a flexible space for new artistic impulses, conversations, texts, and experimental forms. This is what makes the evening so appealing for theater fans: here, the literary source meets contemporary stage energy.

A venue with a special character

The Oval Office at the Schauspielhaus Bochum is intended for formats that work directly, spontaneously, and closely with visitors. The venue offers a compact, intense setting with around 100 seats, creating ideal conditions for a theater experience that does not rely on distance but on immediacy and atmosphere. According to Bochum Tourism, however, the Oval Office is not accessible to those with disabilities.

What visitors can expect in the evening

Anyone looking for a premiere atmosphere, psychological theater, and an intense engagement with a feminist classic will find a strong event in the Bochum cultural calendar. The evening promises intense images, clear directorial handwriting, and a material that resonates for a long time. Anyone wanting to experience theater with depth live should not miss this date.
