When the theater becomes a live game
On October 29, 2026, theater art merges with the digital world on the rehearsal stage 4 of Theater Koblenz: Let’s Play: Theater transforms the principle of video games into an immediate stage experience with live audience, streaming, and interactive dramaturgy.
A game figure, a host, and an evening full of surprises
Markus Scherer hosts the event while Bruno Lehan, as a game figure, tackles various tasks in the theater's workshops. What awaits him there remains a closely guarded secret until the performance. This is precisely what gives the production its tension: Each performance evolves as a unique theatrical experiment.
Between rehearsal stage, workshop, and Twitch
The camera follows Bruno Lehan through carpentry, props, and other theater areas. The live video is displayed on a screen in rehearsal stage 4 and is simultaneously streamed on Twitch. The audience experiences not only acting and improvisation but also fascinating insights into the crafts that work visibly and invisibly behind every stage production.
Interactive dramaturgy with digital play impulse
The audience actively intervenes in the course: On-site and online, they can provide hints through comments and support host Markus Scherer in controlling his game figure. This creates an open dramaturgy in which the atmosphere of theater, gaming culture, and participatory storytelling intertwine.
Theater as a game of life
The concept comes from Britta Bischof, who is also responsible for the scenic design, space, and camera. Franziska Hansen takes over the dramaturgy; texts for the format were written by theater author David Gieselmann. As Digital Theatre of Theater Koblenz, the production not only questions how a Let’s Play works but also how community, control, and spontaneous audience reactions arise on a stage.
With a duration of about 75 to 90 minutes without an intermission, the evening is aimed at visitors aged 16 and older. The live broadcast on Twitch is freely accessible; on-site, the audience can expect a concentrated stage experience full of light images, camera movements, workshop sounds, and unexpected twists.
Conclusion: A theater evening that does not repeat
Let’s Play: Theater turns the theater operation itself into a game board. Those who want to experience digital culture, improvisation, and contemporary stage art in an unusual form will find an evening between rehearsal stage and streaming world. Secure your ticket and experience live how a task turns into a unique theater evening.
