A quiet theater evening full of memory, closeness, and poetic stage magic in Duisburg

Name: and to disappear in blue
Start: 2026-05-06T21:30:00+02:00
End: 2026-05-06T23:00:00+02:00
Location: Theater Duisburg – FOYER III

An evening between memory, movement, and the pull of blue

With and to disappear in blue, the Theater Duisburg opens a poetic space for a sensitive stage experience between memory, loss, and the tentative attempt to transform language into movement. Loosely based on the novel To Die in Summer by Zsuzsa Bánk and with texts by Evelyne de la Chenelière, a production will be created on May 6, 2026, in FOYER III that utilizes the intimate format of the house for a dense theater atmosphere. The performance begins at 19:30, lasts until 21:00, and is part of the Duisburg play schedule as well as the Duisburg Akzente 2026.

Between novel, stage, and memory

The material leads from literature to the present of the theater: Zsuzsa Bánk's novel opens a resonance space for farewell, family memory, and the fragile perception of time, while Evelyne de la Chenelière's texts sharpen the sensual density of the evening. On the stage of FOYER III, this does not unfold into a loud large space, but rather a concentrated form in which acting, directing, and dramaturgical detailing work particularly closely to the audience. The production is scheduled in the calendar of Theater Duisburg for May 6, 2026, with admission tickets priced at 12 euros.

A foyer as a chamber for big emotions

FOYER III is one of the smaller, unusual venues of the house and has 99 seats; it is located 93 steps from the ticket hall, making it a place for immediate theater experience. This spatial proximity particularly enhances the effect of lighting moods, physical presence, and subtle shifts in performance. The theater itself refers to FOYER III as a studio for extraordinary theater productions. ([theater-duisburg.de](https://www.theater-duisburg.de/ihr-besuch/theater-duisburg/?utm_source=openai))

Direction with inner tension

The production is directed by Kornelius Eich, who, according to Theater Duisburg, was born in 1989 and has worked at several renowned houses; his works often revolve around existential themes. For this project, this promises a direction that seeks not to explain but to condense: in transitions, in pauses, in listening closely to text and body. The involvement of Stefanie Winner and Amanda Kirchner is also mentioned by the theater and anchors the evening in the current ensemble work of the theater.
