Sherlock Holmes travels through Bochum's industrial backdrop – a live audio play with goosebumps
In celebration of the 130th anniversary of BOGESTRA, the tram operation Engelsburg in Bochum will be transformed on July 24, 2026, into a stage for an extraordinary theater experience: "Theater in Motion" combines Sherlock Holmes, Victorian London, live music, and an atmospheric live audio play by the Ensemble Theater ex libris into an evening filled with crime, sound, and backdrop. The event starts at 8:00 PM and lasts until 10:00 PM.

An evening that unfolds between acoustics and fantasy
Theater ex libris is regarded as a specialist in live audio plays: The ensemble works with versatile speaker voices, live performed music, and images carefully tailored to the narrative. The Sherlock Holmes productions by the ensemble take the audience to Victorian London and have previously received, among other awards, the Blue Carbuncle from the German Sherlock Holmes Society.

Sherlock Holmes as a literary stage for tension and precision
The character of Sherlock Holmes, created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, thrives on mental sharpness, observation skills, and the dramaturgy of the riddle. Theater ex libris combines several Holmes stories into tension-filled live audio plays, including the series "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" and various other programs featuring music and image projection. For Bochum, this promises an evening where the crime story is not only told but audible, visible, and physically experienced.
