The productions for young audiences are complemented by a preparatory workshop, in which our musical theatre educator visits the groups at their institution and introduces them to the music and theme of the production in a playful way.

Evening performances can also be booked with an accompanying workshop. We particularly recommend the following for young people:
‘FOOSBALL’ from Year 7 onwards
An interactive sound theatre that focuses on the acoustic dimension of a table football tournament and creates stadium euphoria.
As part of the project, a group will accompany the production ‘V01CES//B0D1EZ’ through the rehearsal process until its premiere. In artistic and discursive workshops, during rehearsal visits and in direct exchange with the artistic team, participants will explore the questions that also drive the production: What work are we doing? Are we constantly repeating ourselves? And why are we actually doing this?
The project will conclude with a joint visit to the premiere on 09/05/2026. The date of the first workshop will be agreed individually with the group. Rehearsal visit expected in April 2026. The detailed announcement (in German) can be found here.

The morning performance of the production ‘crypt_’ is particularly suitable for upper secondary schools and university seminars that want to explore new narratives in contemporary music theatre. The performance is complemented by a preparatory or follow-up workshop with our music theatre educator.
‘crypt_’ from Year 10
Between European opera, Japanese ghost stories, anime and artificial intelligence, ‘crypt_’ weaves the narrative of ‘Hoichi the Earless’ into a musical theatre piece about creation, ambition and identity.
Date: Mon, 18/05/26, 11:00 a.m., Muffathalle
