When a name becomes the touchstone of conscience

In Foyer III of Duisburg Theater, on February 25, 2027, two women connected by the same name meet: the resistance fighter Sophie Scholl and a young law student of today. Rike Reininger's poignant monologue Name: Sophie Scholl intertwines historical memory with a contemporary moral decision.

Between history and the present

One Sophie resists, is arrested by the Gestapo, and refuses to reveal her friends during interrogation. The other is about to take her state examination and looks confidently towards her professional life. When she is called to testify in court, the accidental name similarity becomes an existential challenge.

A performance about courage and responsibility

The dramaturgy intertwines the biography of the resistance fighter from the White Rose with the conflict of a young woman today. At the heart of it lies the question of how a person behaves under the pressure of others regarding their own convictions. Silence, conformity, or civil courage take on an immediate, personal dimension in this play.

Intimate stage experience in Foyer III

The performance focuses on the concentrated power of the monologue. In the special theatrical atmosphere of Foyer III, acting, language, and the inner movement of the character come to the forefront. The reduced setting creates intimacy and makes every decision feel like a quiet step over an invisible boundary.

Theater for youth and adults

Name: Sophie Scholl not only focuses on the historical figure but challenges the audience to engage with their own reflections. The play was awarded the prize of the Faculty of Law at the University of Regensburg and is part of the program of Spieltrieb, the Young Ensemble at Duisburg Theater.
