Ingeborg Bachmann's love relationships were shaped by artistic inspiration, by friendship and betrayal. Paul Celan, Hans Werner Henze and Max Frisch left deep traces in the poet's life and work. On the 100th birthday of the poet, historian Dr. Maren Gottschalk devotes herself to her life and work. Quotations read by Sofia Friedmann and Davide Reibaldi.

Erklär mir, Liebe - On the 100th Birthday of Ingeborg Bachmann

Vers

A theatrical walk based on the autobiography "Das verborgene Wort" by Ulla Hahn. At real locations from the story in Manfort, scenes performed by actors as well as musical and dance contributions bring to life the everyday world of Leverkusen in the late 1950s.

City Walk on the Trail of Ulla Hahn: Following Hilla in Manfort

Junges Theater Leverkusen e.V.

Play by Sivan Ben Yishai. The female supporting character Olivia becomes the analytical brain of the text; through her perspective, the classic couple relationship around Popeye is reflected upon. Partly explicit language. German language, with accessible access.

Love…An Argumentative Exercise

A game of morality, power and the price of beauty. Adam has never met a woman like her: radiant, self-assured, seductive and unconventional. That the art student Evelyn of all people should love him is something he can hardly believe. A provocative, intense drama with unexpected twists. Running time 90 minutes without intermission.

The Shape of Things

A play of morality, power and the price of beauty. A provocative, intense drama with unexpected twists that explores beauty, art and the pain of self-realization.

The Measure of Things

Young voices from art, music and theater: an exhibition, a directing workshop, texts, scenes and DJ sets as part of this year's Serenade.

Serenade in the Artists' Bunker

Künstlerbunker Leverkusen

A play of morality, power and the price of beauty. Adam has never met a woman like her: radiant, self-assured, seductive and unconventional.

The ensemble switches sides and directs 15-minute theatre pieces. Requirements: a maximum running time of 15 minutes and no more than two performers on stage. The set should be simple and uncomplicated. The text can either be written by the director or be an outside text.
