Theater
Stages of Bochum
Schauspielhaus Bochum
Königsallee 15, tickets: 0234/33 33-111
Since its foundation in 1919, the "Schauspielhaus Bochum" is one of the most famous theatres in Germany – and its former director Matthias Hartmann was also a crowd-puller. Elmar Goerden manages the house at the Königsallee since summer 2005. He stepped in for Jahrhunderthalle (Bild: Thilo Machotta)Matthias Hartmann who can look back on great successes by having stars like Harald Schmidt or Helge Schneider on the stage. Goerden represents pensive theatre and always turns to classical texts. It is yet to see how Goerden takes care of his younger audience, what will happen to the experimental kind of theatre (for example, on the street or in tube stations) and to the House-Club in the "Theater unter Tage".
The Ruhr-Triennale
Jahrhunderthalle, Gahlenschestrasse/Alleestrasse, tickets: 0201/887 20 24
Since its re-opening in February 2003, the "Jahrhunderthalle" of Bochum (which is sometimes compared with an industrial cathedral) established itself as a main place of the culture festival RuhrTriennale which offers a mixture of theatre, opera, music and literature. Big international productions present themselves beside readings of young writers and presentations of freelance theatre groups. Jürgen Flimm is the director of the 2. Triennale from 2005 to 2007. Youths until the age of 26 get a 50% discount on all tickets.
