When the chat suddenly jumps on stage

Dude, what is this?? by Katharina Böhrke brings these topics directly, humorously, and with a clear stance to the FOYER III of the Theater Duisburg. The documentary play is aimed at young people aged 14 and above and transforms digital confusion into an immediate theatre evening or morning with tempo, closeness, and strong audience reactions.

Stand-up vibe meets youth theatre

The production uses direct language, pointed observations, and a stage presence that is not patronizing. Instead, a lively dialogue emerges about attention, desire, uncertainty, and personal boundaries. The timing is spot on, the interaction feels relatable, and the humor resonates where young people recognize their own life world.

Crushes, chats, and the important word No

The focus is on first approaches, the longing for attention, and the question of why intimate images are sent. Dude, what is this?? looks underneath, behind, and beside: What lies behind an image? What does consent mean? And how does a no feel? The play combines acting, modern youth culture, and clever wordplay with a topic that is already more than just a chat bubble in everyday life.

A piece by young people for young people

Katharina Böhrke developed the project in close collaboration with Karl-Lehr-Realschule, Gesamtschule Walsum, Landfermann-Gymnasium, the Children and Youth Center Alte Schmiede, and theatre education.
