When Bully Herbig Plays the West Again, Duisburg Sparkles with Cinema Magic

A Sequel with Pace, Wit, and Pop Cultural Echo
Michael Bully Herbig's western parody once again relies on characters that have long become part of the German pop memory: Abahachi, Ranger, Winnetouch, Dimitri, and Mary drive the absurd plot forward, while the titular canoe becomes the comedic engine of the story. The event description refers to the return to a world of pursuit, rescue, and quirky nonsense, supported by Herbig's double and triple presence as director and actor. Specialist portals classify the film as a German western parody released in 2025; the production comes from the environment of herbX film and Constantin Film.

Industrial Setting, Lighting Design, and Large Summer Cinema Stage
The foundry hall 1 of the landscape park offers 1,500 tiered seats for major cinema screenings, wheelchair-accessible access, and a distinctive lighting design that illuminates the steel architecture at dusk. There are 1,500 parking spaces available on-site; public restrooms are within walking distance, and additionally, there is a restroom container at the Piazza Metallica during the summer months. For the stage experience of a summer cinema, this is a stage with industrial aura, clear infrastructure, and strong visual impact.

What Visitors Can Expect in the Evening

The Stadtwerke Summer Cinema recommends advance sales, as many screenings sell out quickly; the box office opens at 20:00. For this performance, an admission price of 14.50 euros is set.
