Premieres & revivals 26/27
Under the theme "Songs of We" ("Wir-Gesänge") we’re continuing the thematic focus of the 2025/26 season. We will explore social belonging, conflicts, longings, and contradictions.
The new season features around 20 premieres across four venues. We kick off in August with additional performances of “Ich denk schon wieder (nur an dich)”. Starting August 22, we’ll once again present this popular open-air theater production from last summer at agra Messepark Leipzig.

Nature Theater of Oklahoma (New York)
Leipzig-premiere on Sept 10 / 8:00 PM / Residenz (Spinnerei)
📌 Public rehearsal as part of the Spinnerei Galleries' Autumn Open Day: Sept 5 + 6 / 1:00 – 5:00 PM / Residenz (free entry)
"Pizza or A Door In The Dark Does Not Dance or The Meaning of Life" is a chamber opera, modest in physical scale but uncompromisingly epic and larger than life in its thematic scope and ambitions, featuring unique vocal performances and masterful feats of dance. Plus: pizza for everyone! On top of that, the delivery person offers helpful tips to prepare the audience for when, in addition to life's big questions, a portal to another world appears.

OPEN-AIR-THEATER
Play development with texts by Liv Strömquist, Ada Berger, Ellen Neuser and Ensemble
Director: Ellen Neuser
Revival: 22.8. / 8 pm / agra Messepark Leipzig
It all begins with the search for something great: the perfect couple. But somehow it doesn't really want to work out and great love, as it appears in books and films, hardly seems attainable. And so the five characters (and those who play them) set off in search of the reasons for their recurring heartache - past the highs and lows of relationships and into the unfathomable realm of ideals and feelings.
