Documentary Theater with Closeness to the Audience

Dude, what is this?? combines acting, documentary research, and contemporary youth culture. The production was created in close collaboration with students from Karl-Lehr-Realschule, Gesamtschule Walsum, a Duisburg youth center, and theater educator Katharina Böhrke. This results in not a lecture with a raised finger, but an immediate laughter experience with attitude.

Jokes, Perspectives, and Digital Boundary Questions

The comedy atmosphere here is not created through classic stand-up gags, but through precise timing, direct language, and the surprising turns of real-life situations. Between interaction, stage presence, and serious moments, a reaction from the audience develops that invites both laughter and reflection.

On stage are Katharina Böhrke, Patrick Dollas, Lulu Feuser, and Arman Marvani. The performance lasts about 45 minutes, followed by a 15-minute discussion. The format is aimed at everyone aged 14 and up.
