When the theater itself becomes a game
On November 2, 2026, the rehearsal stage 4 of the Koblenz Theater transforms into an interactive playing field: Let’s Play: Theater combines acting, gaming culture, live streaming, and workshop labor into a unique stage experience. The start is at 8:00 PM.
A character on an exploratory tour
At the center is Bruno Lehan as a living character, who is guided by Markus Scherer through an unusual theater evening. Instead of a digital computer game, the audience explores the real workshops of the theater. There, tasks await, the outcomes of which only materialize during the performance.
Between rehearsal stage, workshop, and Twitch
The production transfers the principles of the classic Let's Play to stage art. The happenings in the carpentry and props department are accompanied by cameras and projected live onto a screen. At the same time, an online community follows the evening via Twitch. Comments and hints from the audience can influence the course and make every performance a standalone theater event.
Dramaturgy of the unpredictable
The dramaturgy thrives on improvisation, interaction, and the conscious play with control. Markus Scherer comments on the events as host and game master, while Bruno Lehan tackles the tasks in immediate physical presence. This creates a hybrid form between acting, performance, media art, and theater experiment.
Theater work becomes visible
The stage design does not limit itself to a finished illusion but opens a view behind the scenes. Tools, materials, camera images, and changing tasks bring the otherwise hidden work processes of a multi-genre theater into focus. Light, acoustics, and live video create a unique theater atmosphere between workshop charm and digital interface.
A format with Koblenz theater history
The piece by David Gieselmann premiered at the Koblenz Theater and was scenically arranged by Britta Bischof. The production belongs to the field of Digital Theatre and addresses the question of how theater changes in the age of streaming, gaming, and participatory media. The audience not only observes an action but experiences how it is shaped in the moment of its emergence.
Conclusion: An evening that knows no repetition
Let’s Play: Theater promises an unusual stage experience for all who want to experience acting art, digital culture, and a glimpse behind the theater scenes together. Every task, every audience reaction, and every improvised moment changes the evening. Those who want to experience theater as a living process will find here a playful, surprising, and immediately present form of stage art.
