Worldwide International Global Idiodrama is a duet in which Lies Pauwels and Willemijn Zevenhuijzen try to deal with the big outside world in which so much happens. From a safe haven on stage, they go on expedition and dive into the caverns of their boundless inner world to find answers. Sometimes by simply being silent and other times by dancing like an idiot. Yes! How about we do just that: lock up that mind! And then see what happens.

The news that a government inspector is on his way throws a small Russian town into chaos, as its corrupt officials scramble to cover their tracks.

'Life in the countryside is wonderful,' or so they say—but not for Sonja and her Uncle Vanya. For 25 years, they have worked tirelessly to keep the family farm afloat, in part to support Sonja’s father, a professor living in the city. Now, having retired and fallen on hard times, he has moved to the farm with his much younger wife, Jelena—whose beauty proves a dangerous distraction for both Vanya and the doctor, Astrov.

King Peter wants to pass the power to his son Leonce. But Leonce, paralyzed by melancholic boredom, rejects every social office. When his wedding to the unknown Princess Lena is imminent, Leonce flees to Italy. Lena, too, wants to determine her own life and also flees her arranged marriage. The two royal children meet by chance and fall in love – without knowing each other's true identities. They cannot escape their predetermined fates. Director Stefan Pucher, who thrilled audiences with "Woyzeck," uses Büchner's comedy, a blend of satire and farce, as the basis for continuing his success story in Wiesbaden.

People of all ages wear their shirts, and their songs have become the soundtrack of entire generations: Nirvana. But what accounts for the enthusiasm for this band, even though it disbanded over thirty years ago? Not only the suicide of grunge star Kurt Cobain, but also the life and personality of the unforgettable Nirvana frontman still raise questions today: resignation or revolt? Angry outsider, highly sensitive artist, lifelong seeker? Drinks, drugs, and depression. Voice of Generation X, ally, feminist?

The princess wants a man with something on his mind. Clumsy Hans' two brothers – learned and articulate – prepare to impress with their fine clothes and long words. They take their horses and ride towards the castle. Clumsy Hans is left behind. The odd one in the family. The one who stumbles a little and picks up things from the ditch; an old wooden shoe, a dead crow and mud in his pocket.

When the farmer's daughter Emma marries the doctor Charles Bovary, she has high hopes for a new and exciting life.

In his play "Birthday Candles," American playwright Noah Haidle spins a thread of life on which birthdays (some more, some less solemnly celebrated) are strung like pearls on a necklace. 100 years of life – 100 birthday cakes that Ernestine bakes each year according to her mother's recipe as she searches for her place in the universe. At 18, Ernestine is convinced she'll find that place on a theater stage, far away from her tranquil hometown, but as the saying goes, "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans." Ernestine starts a family with her childhood sweetheart, experiences highs and lows, and ultimately finds herself reflected in the questions, wishes, and dreams of those who come after her.

Birthday Candles

Chekhov’s tragicomedy about a dysfunctional family and the country property they share has been a perennial favorite since it premiered in 1899 in Moscow. Schmidt’s translation highlights the humor in the conflict between two brothers – the one who left for the city, and the one who remained.

A majestic, intimate and hypnotic re-imagining of Greek myths and legends weaving ancient stories, cosmic projections and a spine-tingling electro-acoustic soundscape. Be transported into the night sky on the breath of stories that have lit up the darkness for thousands of years. Greek myths of constellations are brought dazzlingly to life by two of the UK’s titans of storytelling, Hugh Lupton and Daniel Morden.

In Verona, daily life is overshadowed by the (street) battles between two families, the Montagues and the Capulets. The two patriarchs orchestrate this conflict from their back rooms, constantly fueling the violence. Their children and friends are also riddled with prejudice, making carefree celebration and freedom impossible. Despite their animosity, Romeo and Juliet fall in love and are swept into a maelstrom of hatred and violence that seals their fate. Directed by Charlotte Sprenger, who brings canonical literature into the present with her unique pop aesthetic, Shakespeare's classic becomes a visually stunning plea for the power of love in the face of brutality.
