The Seven Years' War is over. Minna von Barnhelm is searching for her fiancé, Major Tellheim, from whom she hasn't heard in weeks. He is penniless because a bill of exchange he received for an advance payment is not recognized as his property by a Berlin court. Now he is stuck in an inn and has to vacate his room to a more affluent noblewoman. The fact that this woman is Minna, of all people, doesn't ensure a quick happy ending. Tellheim's wounded sense of honor stands in the way of a new relationship. Minna, a self-confident and self-determined woman, tries to circumvent the major's stubbornness, but although they love each other and both believe their intentions are always good, they constantly run into each other. This is what makes the play so comically charming. The great Enlightenment thinker, Lessing, does not overlook how war defines and changes social positions.

A single word creates images, colorful word chains, which in turn trigger melodies. The sound teases out a rhythm, elicits movement from the two dancers, and a choreography emerges. Together with a musician, the two explore the classroom and transform it into an imaginative space. What becomes of the sink in the corner, and does the table change when you lie under it?

"First, man shapes space, then space shapes man." Winston Churchill's quote about the interaction between people and their environment describes how the designed space shapes the behavior, mindset, and even the culture of its inhabitants.


Drawing on their own experiences and explorations in urban spaces, as well as through conversations with the city's residents, the dance ensemble and the Braunschweig State Orchestra attempt to capture the spirit of a space in episodic scenes – the atmosphere of the city and the invisible threads that connect its inhabitants to it.

In a society that is numb, exploitative, and characterized by clear hierarchies, the soldier Wozzeck is a powerless outsider: living in the most humble and precarious circumstances, he finds himself at the very bottom of the social fabric. Someone like him has "only one corner of the world": his love for Marie and their illegitimate child. Oppressed by his captain and abused by a doctor for inhumane experiments, he is increasingly plagued by delusions. When Marie begins an affair with the drum major, Wozzeck loses his last grip. The hopelessness of his existence ultimately drives him to commit a violent act himself.

Deep in the belly of a decommissioned ocean liner sits a man. He has spent his entire life on this ship. For Novecento, the transatlantic liner represents the world. Left behind on the ship as a foundling, he traveled the oceans as a fabulously gifted pianist, watching passengers come and go, and glimpsing dry land only from the railing. Together with the audience, actor Götz van Ooyen recreates the sea voyage of a lifetime in this monologue based on Alessandro Baricco's 1994 novella.
