Theater Aachen is a house of art, social debate, encounters, and much more. Is it also a haunted house? After all, its column-lined walls are now turning 200 years old. Wilke Weermann will explore the terribly beautiful stories they might tell. The author and director is known for his atmospherically densely composed theater evenings, citing genres such as science fiction and horror and contrasting them with subtle, subtle humor. He received the 2023 Kurt Hübner Directing Award for his play "Unheim," which explores the debate about housing shortages as a futuristic-comedy ghost story. At Theater Aachen, Weermann will devote himself to the great American master of gothic literature, Edgar Allan Poe, weaving his most gripping tales into a new horror story about dark family secrets and repressed guilt.

The Fall of the House of Usher

Theater Aachen

Dinçer Güçyeter’s novel presents the voices of three generations of women – told by the son of Fatma, who arrives in Germany in 1965 as the wife of a Turkish guest worker. The poetic language, sociographic accuracy and the lifelike figures make this novel a fascinating material for theatre.

Our Germany Fairytale

Kammer

Wilke Weermann combines stories by the great American master of horror literature Edgar Allan Poe to create a new horror story about dark family secrets and repressed guilt.

The director and author duo Stuhler/Koslowski, known for their boulevardesque discursive comedies, go on a literary-archaeological mission with our ensemble and bring the almost forgotten work of a female author from Aachen to the light of day.

Lady Tartuffe

"Is this my home, my land, my place? Am I supposed to fill the void of an emptiness here?" In Dinçer Güçyeter's novel "Our Germany Fairytale," two generations of women—mother and grandmother—constitute the voice of Fatma, who comes to Nettetal in 1965 as the wife of a Turkish guest worker. Through powerful images, poetry, monologues, dialogues, prayers, and dreams, the novel tells of hard work and great strength, of old gender roles and the dawn of a new beginning, of uprooting and longing. It is a homage to women and tells a piece of German history in a new, sensual, and humorous language. Güçyeter's debut novel, published by "mikrotext," was awarded the Leipzig Book Fair Prize in 2023. Director Antigone Akgün, who already thrilled audiences in Aachen with her production of "The Garden of Earthly Delights," is adapting the novel for the Kammer stage.
