A comedy very loosely based on Shakespeare
Text adaptation by Christine Federschmid

Italy, vacation, Dolce Vita, pizza, pasta, sunsets… Life can be so beautiful - at least as a tourist.

Caterina, the daughter of Don Pepe, the proud owner of an excursion restaurant in the best location, does not want to marry - she has no interest in the local men. So far, no problem, if it weren't for her younger sister Bianca, who may only go on dates if her big sister is engaged. Bianca's admirers devise a plan to still enjoy a date.

Three admirers, all with the same goal - nothing can go wrong, right? But what happens when a fourth admirer suddenly appears on the scene?

Direction: Ursel Sparka

Entrance: 2:00 PM

Helena is a divorce lawyer, Bob is getting by as a petty criminal, both are 35 years old and only moderately enthusiastic about life so far. After Helena gets stood up again, she takes the next best guy from the bar home: Bob. Despite the unremarkable night together, there’s chemistry between them. When they run into each other again the next day – Helena in a bridesmaid dress, Bob with £15,000 in his pocket that he’s supposed to keep for his boss – they decide: Today, they disregard everything and spend the money recklessly! How good this idea really is, they can still ponder the next day. A heartwarming comedy with the promise that it’s never too late for a fresh start.

Angelina lives with her two vain and snobbish stepsisters Clorinde and Tisbe and her stepfather in a run-down castle. The stepsisters treat Angelina like a maid and only call her Cenerentola (Cinderella). When it becomes known that the wealthy Prince Ramiro of Salerno is looking for a bride, Clorinde and Tisbe push themselves to the front of the line of candidates. But the prince loses his heart to Angelina, and they lived happily ever after. Rossini, the king of opera buffa, takes his audience into fairy tale worlds with "La Cenerentola" and at the same time created a quirky, witty narrative by eliminating all fantastic fairy tale elements, revealing a very profound and human side. Additionally, this work is characterized especially by Rossini's magnificent and refined musical portrayal of his characters – captivating for young and old alike.

Eine Familie, zwei Sprachen, einhundert Jahre und mehr als zweitausend Kilometer zwischen Istanbul und Gelsenkirchen. Akin Emanuel Sipal erzählt die Geschichte einer Familie, in der die aus Schlesien stammende Urgroßmutter den türkischen Großvater einst mit einem Regenschirm attackierte. Der Schwiegersohn kehrt als Autor in die Türkei zurück und übersetzt die großen Werke der deutschen Literatur. Die nächste Generation ist zwischen beiden Ländern hin- und hergerissen. Dazu kommt vieles, was Türk*innen über Deutsche und Deutsche über Türk*innen zu wissen glauben. In all das verheddert sich das Alter Ego des Autors. »Mutter Vater Land« zeichnet mit hohem Tempo und hintergründigem Humor eine Welt, in der sich Kulturen vermischen und zu etwas Neuem werden. 2022 wurde „Mutter Vater Land“ mit dem Publikumspreis der renommierten Mülheimer Theatertage ausgezeichnet.
