A play is created before the audience's eyes
The Lab Theater Bayreuth opens its rehearsal and invites you to experience the creation of The Emperor's New Clothes firsthand. On November 24, 2026, the Arts and Culture House Neuneinhalb will become an open stage laboratory where ideas, scenes, and theatrical decisions become visible.
Theater as Workshop
An open rehearsal expands the classic theater evening with a special perspective: The audience encounters not only the finished result, but the artistic process. Directing, dramaturgy, and acting intertwine as a production gradually takes shape from text, movement, space, and performance.
Between Fairy Tale Motif and Present
The title refers to the famous fairy tale motif of power, appearance, and truth. In the open working atmosphere of the lab theater, this becomes a lively space for thought: How do characters emerge? What effect does a set design have? When does a moment turn into comedy, tension, or revelation?
An Immediate Stage Experience
The closeness to the artistic action makes the evening special. Theater atmosphere is created here not only by finished costumes, lighting moods, or precisely set accents but through visible experimentation. The audience experiences how actors explore roles, change scenes, and search for the right form together with the team.
Conclusion: Theater in the Making
For those who want to experience stage art up close and take a look behind the scenes of a production, this open rehearsal offers an unusual theater evening. The Emperor's New Clothes invites you to discover theater not only as a performance but as a communal process.
