When a phone alarm turns into a theater evening

With Dude, what is that??, Katharina Böhrke presents a documentary piece on stage at FOYER III of the Theater Duisburg on May 20, 2026, that deals with first crushes, infatuations, nude pictures, and the important word No. The school performance at 10:00 AM lasts about 45 minutes plus a discussion afterwards and is aimed at a young audience aged 14 and above. The script comes from close collaboration with Duisburg schools and a youth center, giving the evening a direct, genuine tone.

Between laughter, secondhand embarrassment, and honest insight

The piece hits where comedy, education, and theater pedagogy shake hands: in the unvarnished everyday life of digital closeness. Instead of blatant moral preaching, there is observational sharpness, timing, and a clear stage presence. It is precisely this mix that creates a comedy atmosphere where the audience first chuckles and then realizes how serious the questions beneath the surface are.

Katharina Böhrke as an author with a feel for youth issues

Katharina Böhrke has been working for years as a theater educator and developer of pieces for young people at the Theater Duisburg. Official materials from the house show that she shapes productions with young people, school classes, and playful ensembles, bringing themes such as identity, anger, love, and self-image to the stage with a clear hand. This is precisely where the authority of this evening grows: close to life, close to the audience, close to the present.

The venue: FOYER III with studio stage character

FOYER III is considered a studio for exceptional theater productions and is located under the roof of the Theater Duisburg. The space is designed for intimate, direct formats where reactions do not get lost but become part of the performance. For the audience, this means: short routes, concentrated impact, and a closeness to the stage that makes every punchline and every pause palpable.

Travel, parking, and accessibility

The theater is located at Opernplatz 47051 Duisburg. Public transportation is available via the König-Heinrich-Platz stop, and the main train station is only about a ten-minute walk away. Parking at Opernplatz is not permitted; instead, the König-Heinrich-Platz parking garage and the City Palais parking garage are mentioned. The building also points out the limited accessibility of the historical building; there is no elevator for the opera foyer and FOYER III.
