When questions meet the stage: Katharina Böhrke gets Duisburg thinking and smiling

With Dude, what is that??, the Theater Duisburg does not present a loud slapstick extravaganza, but a smart, direct, and surprisingly intimate piece about love vibes, crushes, nude pictures, and the little word that is often heard only after a big thought error: No. The documentary theater project is aimed at everyone aged 14 and over and combines youthful perspectives with precise timing, clear language, and an atmosphere where every audience reaction counts.

Between cringe and clarity

The production arises in close collaboration with schools, a youth center, and theater educator Katharina Böhrke. This is exactly where the evening draws its energy from: from real topics, real pressure, real questions. This makes it interesting because everyday life, digital uncertainty, and stage presence collide here - and without a pedagogical finger-pointing, but with palpable experience in addressing young viewers.

A foyer with special closeness

Spoken, acted, and sharpened takes place in the FOYER III of the Theater Duisburg. The room is located in the middle of the building, close to the city, close to the audience, and close to the topics that are causing discussions today. The theater does not provide an elevator for this venue; the opera foyer and FOYER III are only accessible by stairs. For those arriving by public transport, the building can be easily reached via König-Heinrich-Platz, and it is about a ten-minute walk from the main train station. Parking garages are located nearby.

Short runtime, clear effect

The performance lasts about 45 minutes, followed by a 15-minute discussion. This format brings pace to the evening while also allowing space for context, questions, and resonance. This is where the strength of the piece lies: it takes the energy of youthful communication seriously and transforms it into a dense, observational theater experience with precise interaction.

Conclusion

Dude, what is that?? does not promise a comfortable laugh-off but an honest, moving, and often surprisingly funny theater experience with a stance.

This piece hits the nerve of a generation - and invites you to experience it live. ([theater-duisburg.de](https://www.theater-duisburg.de/spielplan/a-z/digga-was-das/))
