Theater Festival at Schauspielhaus Bochum: A whole Sunday in the spirit of the stage
When Schauspielhaus Bochum opens its doors for the Theater Festival on September 27, 2026, starting at 11:00 AM, the venue transforms into a vibrant resonance space for encounters, curiosity, and play. The open house marks the start of the new season and combines breakfast in front of the theater, ensemble programs, readings, music, dance, workshop street, and technology shows into a multifaceted stage experience. Entrance is free.
A house that opens its doors wide
The Theater Festival is not an ordinary performance, but a celebration for all generations. Inside and in front of the theater, a theater atmosphere is created that seeks proximity rather than distance: costume sale, guided tours of the house, offerings for children, conversations with the ensemble, and a program that makes the artistic energy of Schauspielhaus directly tangible.
From breakfast to technology show
The day unfolds like a small season in concentrated form. The experience begins on the forecourt with a communal breakfast, followed by insights into the work of the stage, dramaturgy, technology, and performance practice. This mixture of audience closeness and artistry makes the Theater Festival so appealing: Here, one does not only watch but experiences theater as a living organism.
Season start with cultural pulse
Schauspielhaus Bochum is one of the renowned stages in the German-speaking world and, according to its profile, has up to 800 seats in the theater itself. Since 2018, Johan Simons has been shaping the house as the artistic director. The Theater Festival fits into this tradition of a city theater that combines artistic quality, openness, and social presence.
