The Lessing Theater in Wolfenbüttel is a theater opened in 1909 and operated by the city of Wolfenbüttel as a guest performance venue.

In the residential city of Wolfenbüttel, Germany's first permanent venue with a fixed ensemble, the Theater of Schloss Wolfenbüttel, was founded in 1592.

Planned by the Brunswick architect Otto Rasche, the theater was built using reinforced concrete construction. The inauguration of the house, designed in the Art Nouveau and Neoclassical styles, took place on September 25, 1909, after four years of planning and only one year of construction, with the performance of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's Nathan the Wise. The Lessing Theater and the city of Wolfenbüttel survived the two world wars undamaged.

The theater only received its current name in 1929; until then, it was called the City Theater. Operating as a repertory theater, the Lessing Theater did not have its own ensemble and regularly hosted guest performances with varying programs. Until its closure in 2007, it was a venue for about 90 events per year and accommodated up to 699 guests.

The theater was reopened at the end of May 2013 and is designed for approximately 170 events per year.

Mein Vorbild Eugen Roth - Eine lyrische Wanderung im Geiste des großen Menschenfreundes
10/20/2024 at 6:00 PM / Wolfenbüttel

My Role Model Eugen Roth
A poetic journey in the spirit of the great humanitarian
Text and reading by Rainer Sliepen

In German poetry, humor still holds a rather subordinate position. However, the poet Eugen Roth (1895 to 1976) has long since secured a place of honor in German poetry history and in the hearts of his readers with his poems "A Human...".

Roth is a formative role model for Rainer Sliepen, who recalls him through his own texts and at the same time encourages the audience to revisit the originals. Sliepen walks in Roth's footsteps and brings his thoughts and humorous charm into our modern times. The idea of the best-selling author is equipped with new themes.

The good and the not so good, the unintentionally comical and the pedants are, as Roth understood masterfully, given a timeless monument in his spirit. Seen in this light, the evening is also a homage to Eugen Roth. Always handled with a light touch and without a moralizing tone, just as his great role model demands.

Maman Europa - »Ich bin ein Kind Europas!« – Sabine Mittelhammer erzählt besorgt, kämpferisch und liebevoll von ihrem Europa
10/24/2024 at 11:00 AM / Wolfenbüttel

Maman Europa
"I am a Child of Europe!" - Sabine Mittelhammer tells of her Europe with concern, fighter spirit, and love
Suitable for ages 13 and up or 7th grade | Performance in German and French

"As the daughter of a German father and a French mother, I have always considered dual citizenship a privilege. After both nations met with disgust and aversion after the end of the war, the loving connection of my parents was a vibrant proof of the European new beginning."

In this production, Sabine Mittelhammer tells in a very personal way about a small, unique love story amidst great historical events. Questions are raised such as: Has this Europe, which allegedly "learned from history," already begun to forget? Where is the Europe of humanity, diversity, and hope? Do individual stories bring about changes, or are they the big ideas? How can boundaries be shifted, walls torn down, and politics inspired to change?

A story about a German-French wedding, the war trauma of several generations, kitschy-grandiose love, and maternal as well as one's own migration.

Maman Europa
"I am a child of Europe!" - Sabine Mittelhammer tells worried, combative, and lovingly about her Europe
From 13 years old or 7th grade | Production in German and French

"As the daughter of a German father and a French mother, I have always viewed dual citizenship as a privilege. After both nations met with disgust and aversion after the end of the war, the loving connection of my parents was a living proof of the European new beginning."

In this production, Sabine Mittelhammer tells a very personal story of a small, unique love story amidst significant historical events. Questions are raised such as: Has this Europe, which supposedly "learned from history," already begun to forget? Where is the Europe of humanity, diversity, and hope? Are it the small individual stories that bring about change, or are it the big ideas? How can one shift boundaries, tear down walls, and inspire politics for change?

Frederick - Frei nach dem Kinderbuch von Leo Lionni
10/25/2024 at 4:00 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Frederick
Based on the children’s book by Leo Lionni
A solo piece in German, Danish, and French | For ages 4 and up

A classic of puppet theater is on the program: Little Red Riding Hood. The performer is ready, Little Red Riding Hood is too, and off we go.

Wait a minute. A complete brigade of mice is actually emptying the well-prepared basket for the sick grandmother. This needs to be investigated, and so a puppeteer, Little Red Riding Hood, and the wolf set off in Frederick's fantastic story to search for what is essential for survival.

While Frederick's companions are busy gathering supplies for the winter, it almost seems as if he is lounging in the sun on the autumn flower meadow. Not so, dear mouse friends: To survive the cold, lonely winter days, one needs more than nuts, corn, cake, and wine. Specifically, imagination and fantasy!

Gar nicht lügen ist auch keine Lösung - Geschichten und Theorien rund ums Lügen
10/26/2024 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Gar nicht lügen ist auch keine Lösung
Geschichten und Theorien rund ums Lügen

»Honesty lasts the longest«, says a proverb. However, the adult education teachers Paula and Konstanze go with the times and say: What do I gain if something lasts long but brings many problems? Why should we struggle with uncomfortable truths when one can even become President of the USA as a professional liar? The lie is wonderfully versatile. It brings success, protects friendships, and makes life easier. It even boosts self-confidence, and in the greatest need, one can even lie to oneself.

The adult education course »Gar nicht lügen ist auch keine Lösung« offers insights into the history and theory of an astonishing cultural achievement. It touches on the 10 commandments, makes stops at Baron Munchausen and the Potemkin villages, eventually landing in the dazzling world of fabricated doctorate degrees, optimized profile pictures, and fake news. And since every insight is only as valuable as its utility in everyday life, lying will be diligently practiced with the course participants.

The actresses Heike Feist and Astrid Kohrs explore with much wit and depth the phenomenal cultural achievement of lying.

B. - Ein Tanzstück von Tiago Manquinho
10/27/2024 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

B.
A dance piece by Tiago Manquinho
SPOTTED - Network for Dance Guest Performances in Lower Saxony

"We do not see things as they are, but as we are." (Talmud)

It is a human basic need to find beauty in everything - in others, objects, places, and moments. Our evaluation is based on feelings, not objectivity. But where can we find beauty when everything around us seems so gray and dark? So sad and depressing. Every day, the perspectives of a beautiful, shiny future seem further away than before. One crisis after another, one threat after another. Every day we see more terrible things than beautiful ones.

In times of uncertainty, this piece encourages us to critically question our ideas of beauty. Our ideals shaped by commerce and power are not universal. Why not use this time of transition to look forward and realize our closed-mindedness towards less obvious beauty? To question our aesthetic values and ideas and create space for difference, for diversity.

The first guest performance as part of the network for dance guest performances in Lower Saxony - "SPOTTED" - to which the Lessing Theater now belongs.

Ohne Rolf - Jenseitig
10/29/2024 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Without Rolf
Beyond
A surprising balancing act between this world and the beyond

What makes life worth reading? Is there an epilogue when the ink runs out? Can impressive memories fade? In the fifth piece "Beyond", the duo "Without Rolf" tackles the big questions. With their posters, they turn profoundly human subjects into easily flipped-through, absurd comedy.

Jonas Anderhub and Christof Wolfisberg have already been awarded the German Cabaret Prize and the German Kleinkunst Prize, two of the most prestigious theater awards in Germany.

"With their invented 'exquisite comedy,' they effortlessly break through all genre boundaries between cabaret, theater, and literature. Their nearly inexhaustible wealth of ideas, their pinpoint accuracy, their playful ease with language, and the philosophical depth of their programs are so surprising, imaginative, and captivating that after a program by 'Without Rolf,' one becomes addicted for more," wrote the jury of the German Cabaret Prize.

James Brown trug Lockenwickler - Wer bin ich? Gesellschaftssatire von Yasmina Reza
10/30/2024 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

James Brown wore curlers
Who am I? A social satire by Yasmina Reza
Translated by Frank Heibert and Hinrich Schmidt-Henkel

The teenager Jacob Hutner has admired the Canadian singer Céline Dion since he was six years old. What his parents, Pascaline and Lionel, once accepted as a harmless phase of admiration in his childhood has developed into a frightening form of identity distortion. Jacob is firmly convinced that he is the singer herself and is planning her – or rather his – world tour.

Caught between helplessness and concern, the parents begin a struggle with their own values. They see only one way out: to "heal" Jacob in a psychiatric facility. There, Jacob meets Philippe, a Frenchman who, despite his light skin, believes he is a Black man from the USA. A special friendship begins.

Yasmina Reza, born in Paris in 1959, is a writer, director, and actress, and the most performed contemporary playwright. Her works have won numerous awards and are featured on stages worldwide. The play "God of Carnage" was adapted into a film in 2011, featuring a star-studded cast including Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz, and John C. Reilly.

Post von Karlheinz - Wütende Mails von richtigen Deutschen
11/1/2024 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Post from Karlheinz
Angry emails from real Germans
Based on the book by Hasnain Kazim

It is not surprising that Hasnain Kazim, born in Oldenburg and son of Indian-Pakistani immigrants, receives hate-filled reader mail as a journalist, especially since he writes about sensitive topics and has a foreign-sounding name. What is surprising, however, is his reaction to these submissions. Instead of simply dismissing the rants of the angry senders, he responds cleverly and humorously, leading to enlightening dialogues.

By sharing excerpts of this correspondence on social media, Kazim has built an enthusiastic fan base. In the Lessing Theater, Lucca Züchner, Thorsten Krohn, Thomas Schweiberer, and Bijan Zamani will read and perform texts, chat logs, and email exchanges from Kazim's bestselling book.

Hasnain Kazim was born in 1974 in Oldenburg and grew up near Hamburg and in Karachi, Pakistan. He studied political science and pursued a career as a naval officer. Between 2009 and 2019, he worked as a correspondent for Der Spiegel in South Asia and Turkey. He now lives as a freelance author in Vienna and writes for publications such as Die Zeit and Süddeutsche Zeitung.

Voodoo Lounge - Stripped – Unplugged-Konzert
11/2/2024 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Voodoo Lounge
Stripped – Unplugged Concert
Rolling Stones Tribute Band

Almost 30 years ago, the Rolling Stones recorded the album "Stripped." It was the Stones' response to the Unplugged trend. The concept was simple yet effective: the venerable rock 'n' roll band stripped down some of their greatest hits as well as lesser-known gems to focus on the essentials. Acoustic guitars are more prominent, while the electric guitars remain plugged in. An intimate club sound that is still raw and cheeky.

After over 20 years on stages across the country, the Braunschweig Rolling Stones Tribute Band Voodoo Lounge will embrace this concept for one evening. They will perform songs never played before by the band while others will sound different than ever before: stripped down, streamlined, truly "stripped."

Voodoo Lounge was initially founded in 1997 as a casual project. The band originally intended to only play a few concerts. However, as it happens, nothing lasts longer than a makeshift plan. Over 20 years have passed, and their sound, outfits, and stage presence are as authentic as they come, rivaling only the originals.

Altes Land - Nach dem Roman von Dörte Hansen
11/10/2024 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Old Land
Based on the novel by Dörte Hansen
A touching and humorous North German story

Two women with eventful lives, both on the run and searching for a home, a family: Vera Eckhoff flees as a little girl with her mother on foot from East Prussia. They strand on a farm in the Old Land, where they are not very welcome.

Among apple and cherry trees, in rough weather, and amidst distrustful villagers, mother and daughter work hard on the old farm south of the Elbe. When her mother leaves her for a better life in Hamburg, Vera remains alone in her new home, which should always remain strange to her. After many years, two seekers of home suddenly stand at the door of the old thatched-roof house again: Vera's niece Anne with her young son Leon, who want or perhaps must leave behind life in Hamburg-Ottensen.

Dörte Hansen, born in 1964 in Husum, worked as an editor and author at North German Broadcasting after studying linguistics. Her debut "Old Land" was named the favorite book of independent bookstores in 2015 and became the bestseller of 2015 on the Spiegel bestseller list.

Erschütterungen: Was unsere Demokratie von außen und innen bedroht - Eine Lesung mit Bundespräsident a.D. Joachim Gauck
11/11/2024 at 6:00 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Shocks: What threatens our democracy from outside and within
A reading with former Federal President Joachim Gauck

The Russian invasion of Ukraine threatens our liberal democracy at a time when it is also under pressure from within. How did this come about? Former Federal President Joachim Gauck, together with his co-author Helga Hirsch, explores the question of why the trust of many citizens in our liberal democracy has been shaken. What threatens our democracy from within? What role do authoritarian and libertarian tendencies play in times of crisis? How much immigration can a democracy tolerate?

At the same time, he examines why today we are faced with the shattered remains of an Eastern policy that for too long only focused on the principles of "peace before freedom" and "change through trade" in relation to Russia. In a very impressive and sometimes personal way, Joachim Gauck shows how in recent years many certainties about the stability of our democracy have been lost – and how we can succeed in defending our liberal freedoms in the future and actually becoming a defensive democracy.

The book "Shocks: What threatens our democracy from outside and within" by Joachim Gauck and Helga Hirsch was published by Siedler-Verlag in May 2023.

Following the reading, the former Federal President will be signing books.

Jewish Chamber Orchestra Hamburg - Musikalisch-literarische Stolpersteine mit Gesine Cukrowski
11/12/2024 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Jewish Chamber Orchestra Hamburg
Musikalisch-literarische Stolpersteine mit Gesine Cukrowski
Erwin Schulhoff | Hans Krasa | Pavel Haas

The "Jewish Chamber Orchestra Hamburg" was founded in 2018 with the idea of re-establishing a Jewish chamber orchestra in Hamburg after more than 80 years. Back then, in 1934, it emerged as a result of the exclusion of Jewish musicians from public life. However, the ensemble was only able to perform four concerts before it had to be disbanded due to the prohibition of Jews from working.

The current ensemble now pursues the goal of both remembering the horrific times of National Socialism and introducing Jewish culture and music to a broad audience. It plays not only works by Jewish composers but also, like the original orchestra, a diverse classical repertoire from Baroque to modern times.

The event series "Musikalisch-literarische Stolpersteine" connects music with texts about Jewish life and commemorates the unjustly forgotten works of composers who were persecuted during the Nazi era and perished in concentration camps.

Mephisto - Der Pakt mit dem Teufel | Schauspiel mit Musik nach dem Roman von Klaus Mann
11/14/2024 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Mephisto
The Pact with the Devil | Play with Music based on the Novel by Klaus Mann
Adaptation for the Berliner Ensemble by Till and Chris Weinheimer | Editing by Kai F. Schrickel

The (fictional) story of the actor Hendrik Höfgen, who became a celebrated star in the "New Reich," is told.

Höfgen, who only later comes to terms with the power holders of National Socialism, initially flees to Paris. However, Lotte Lindenthal, the wife of the Prime Minister and herself a mediocre actress, desires Höfgen as her partner for her Berlin debut at the state theatre. She persuades her husband to bring the gifted artist back to Berlin. Höfgen, for whom the role of Mephisto in Goethe's "Faust" is like a second skin, realizes far too late that he has indeed made a pact with the devil. An actor torn between career and conscience. Culminating in the famous line: "I am just an ordinary actor!"

"Mephisto," written in exile in 1936, is regarded as a key novel about the actor Gustaf Gründgens. The film adaptation with Klaus Maria Brandauer won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1981.

How to Date a Feminist - Eine wundervolle Komödie von Samantha Ellis
11/15/2024 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

How to Date a Feminist
A wonderful comedy by Samantha Ellis
Two actors share six roles | Translated into German by Silke Pfeiffer

Kate is into machos, Steve is a feminist. He grew up in a women's protest camp, while she was a sheltered only child in a suburban London home. Kate's father thinks Steve is too "different," and Steve's mother believes Kate is materialistic and unliberated.

Still, Kate and Steve find each other irresistible—and end up in a witty comedy, where the two performers swiftly shift roles, poking fun at the complexities of relationships and traditional gender roles: How do feminism and a weakness for jerks go together? What does it say about someone if they don’t find their partner’s insistence on consideration and respect particularly erotic? And can a man really be a feminist?

In fact, Kate’s and Steve’s marriage falls apart at the wedding celebration—and it takes both of them a tremendous leap over their own shadow to finally become a proper couple in a furious finale.

Samantha Ellis's wonderfully humorous masterpiece on the burning issue of feminism today and the question of who is the more unblemished feminist in this pair, the woman or the man?

Olaf, der Elch - Eine Weihnachtsgeschichte über die wunderbare Freundschaft zweier Einzelgänger nach dem Buch von Volker Kriegel
11/19/2024 at 11:00 AM / Wolfenbüttel

Olaf, the Moose
A Christmas story about the wonderful friendship of two loners based on the book by Volker Kriegel
Ages 4 and up

Olaf has it tough. As a moose with an oversized antler, he can only ever run crookedly through the trees in the forest. To make matters worse, after being teased by two bears, he crashes into a tree and is left with just a shovel. Now he can't even apply as a Christmas moose. But behold! For Olaf, his one-shovel life also has its upsides, and when he encounters the one-eyed Santa Claus, the two become an unbeatable team.

Volker Kriegel (1943-2003) was a German jazz musician, illustrator, and writer. In 1999, his successful picture book "Olaf, the Moose" was published, followed by two more volumes.

Alice im Wunderland - Nach dem Kinderbuch von Lewis Caroll
11/26/2024 at 11:00 AM / Wolfenbüttel

Alice in Wonderland
Based on the children's book by Lewis Carroll
For ages 9 and up

"I'm late! I'm late!" are the last words Alice hears as she follows the white rabbit and falls through a rabbit hole into Wonderland. Upon arriving in the underworld, her adventure begins. Alice encounters a smoking caterpillar, a tea-drinking hatter, and a grinning cat. Escaping from this crazy society, she arrives at a peculiar court with playing card soldiers and an authoritarian queen of hearts.

Fearlessly, Alice confronts the queen. With the power of her imagination, the young heroine unwaveringly navigates the twisted paths of Wonderland. Through her encounters with the absurdity and paradoxes of this world, Alice's confidence, self-assurance, and courage grow.

Lewis Carroll – actually Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a mathematician – was 30 years old when he took a boating trip on the Thames with his dean and his daughters Lorina, Edith, and Alice. To entertain the girls, he began telling them about the adventures of a little girl. In 1863, he gifted the manuscript of "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland" to the "real" Alice for Christmas.

Die Konferenz der Tiere - Nach dem Roman von Erich Kästner
12/1/2024 at 4:00 PM / Wolfenbüttel

The Conference of the Animals
Based on the novel by Erich Kästner
For ages 7 and up

The world is turned upside down, one crisis follows the next. In search of the right solution, people organize conference after conference. But Giraffe, Elephant, and Lion think that all this talking is not getting them anywhere. So they decide to convene a conference of the animals. One representative from each species will attend, and the conference will only happen once.

Animals from all directions and continents come together: they swim, run, crawl, and fly to the animal skyscraper. The motto is: "It's about the children." A livable world should be preserved for them. Can this succeed when so many different habits have been developed in the water and in the air, in the desert, in the jungle, or in the ice?

Erich Kästner (1899 to 1974) develops in his novel published in 1949 the utopia with much warmth and humor that all creatures can live together peacefully.

Erich Kästner (1899-1974) portrays in his novel published in 1949, with warmth and humor, the utopian idea that all beings can peacefully coexist.

The Wizard of Oz
Based on the children's book by Lyman Frank Baum
Ages 6 and up

Dorothy lives on a farm in Kansas with her aunt and uncle. One day, a tornado sweeps through the land, carrying Dorothy, her house, and her beloved dog Toto away. She lands in the magical land of Oz, where she is joyfully greeted by the good witch Glinda. And because her house destroyed the wicked witch of the East upon landing, Dorothy gets to keep her magical shoes. Glinda sends Dorothy to the Emerald City to meet the great Wizard of Oz: only he has the power to help her find her way back home.

Together with her new friends - the Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion - Dorothy must overcome many exciting and wondrous adventures. They finally reach the Emerald City. But will the mysterious Oz really help them?

"The Wizard of Oz" tells a timeless tale that has enchanted generations of children and adults. A magical, poetic, fairytale-colored theater experience about self-confidence, curiosity, courage, and the unrivaled power of friendship.
