Crispin Hausmann live: Porn Stars Die Too at the Theater am Alten Markt

When the perfect body becomes the tragicomic lead role

A mirror, a studio, and a young porn actor chasing the ideal image of his own body: In Porn Stars Die Too, Crispin Hausmann presents an intense solo evening blending dark humor, queer self-examination, and body-focused theater. On Friday, November 6, 2026, the Theater am Alten Markt in Bielefeld will transform for one hour into an equally glamorous and uncanny thought space.

Cody vs. Narcissus, Grindr, and the inner fitness coach

After an erotic dream involving Narcissus, Cody wakes up, already abandoned by his crush, in his studio. The next video production is supposed to save everything: more beauty, more desire, more control. However, from the attempt to satisfy both the audience and his own ideal, a spiral of obsession, self-presentation, and exhaustion emerges. The mirror is not just a prop, but becomes a permeable surface for dreams, fantasies, and memories.

Stand-up energy meets queer theater poetry

Those expecting classic comedy with surefire punchlines at minute intervals will experience a more complex laughter experience. Hausmann combines darkly humorous moments with physical comedy, precise timing, choreography, and dance interludes. Between sharp self-observation and grotesque exaggeration, a unique comedy atmosphere arises: The audience laughs, recognizes themselves, and shortly thereafter wonders why their own mirror is so harsh in its judgment.

A solo evening about body pressure and desire

Cody navigates familiar images of the gay community, experiences his Twink death, dances on Fire Island, and chats on Grindr. Ancient Greek theater traditions give the character's constraints a ritualistic quality. Among the textual sources of inspiration, Hausmann cites Larry Kramer’s Faggots, The Naked Soldier by Belmen O., and Klaus Theweleith’s Men's Fantasies. The result is not a feel-good evening with a wellness guarantee, but a vigilant, sensual stage evening about the cost of being desired.

Crispin Hausmann: from acting studies to the Bielefeld stage

Crispin Hausmann developed the solo evening as an artistic thesis during his acting studies at the Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna. He is new to the acting ensemble at the Theater Bielefeld. His previous work includes roles in Macbeth, Shoppen und Ficken, and The Invisible Hand. For No Hope, Baby!, he received the audience award and the student jury prize at the festival for young direction in 2026.

Conclusion: An evening that turns the mirror towards the audience

Porn Stars Die Too promises a concentrated hour of theater, performance, dark humor, and queer body critique. Those looking for an unconventional stage presence, strong imagery, and a theme with real resonance will not experience an ordinary Friday night here. The Theater am Alten Markt opens its doors at 10 PM for Cody, Narcissus, and all who prefer to laugh when looking in the mirror before it looks back.
