Die Tischlerei - Space for new music theatre and concert
The Tischlerei was formerly a workshop, today it is a space for experiments and installations, for world premieres and play developments. It is the home of our Junge Deutsche Oper, which fills this space with life through children's music theatre, large participatory projects and concerts. And it is the space for our musicians, who invite the audience to extraordinary programmes in chamber and jazz concerts.

gamut inc's Zeroth Law
The question of a possible coexistence of man and machine is at the centre of the robot trilogy by the retro-futuristic duo Gamut Inc.

Banquet
Based on Plato's "Symposion", BANQUET attempts a reinterpretation of ancient Greek social practice and the themes negotiated in it. In a feminist ritual, we want to create communal utopias and proclaim a new age of love by singing, dancing, drinking and discussing together. BANQUET is an invitation to collective intoxication and a musical journey from baroque arias to Wagner and today's club sound.
10 hours performance and more - 11 November 2023

Beta
Technical innovations have long since permeated all areas of life. The world premiere BETA illuminates the potential of digital tools, but also the risks posed by non-transparent data sets and the monetisation of private user data. In her composition, Dariya Maminova artfully interweaves genres, mixes live sound with complex electronics and repeatedly plays with the boundaries of our perception of analogue and digitally produced music.
Author and director Christiane Mudra transposes long-term research to the stage in an exciting evening of musical theatre. BETA, a work produced jointly with composer Dariya Maminova, explores the power of technological giants.
Who will watch the watchmen?
Author and director Christiane Mudra translates long-term journalistic research into gripping theatre evenings. Together with composer Dariya Maminova, she is now bringing BETA, a music theatre about the power of tech giants, to the stage: the premiere will take place on 17 February 2024 in the Tischlerei ...
