An evening where dreams take shape on stage
In the Theaterwerkstatt Bethel, a performative collaboration with Mira M. Yang emerges through About Dreaming, transforming the ephemeral nature of sleep into a vibrant theatrical atmosphere. On Tuesday, September 29, 2026, a space opens in Bielefeld for images, bodies, and sounds, where personal dream worlds become scenic miniatures.
Between Night Image and Movement
The project approaches dreaming not merely as a topic, but as material for the stage. Performative exercises, imaginative journeys, and experimental narrative forms coalesce into movement sequences, sound spaces, and small images of high inner tension. It is precisely this aspect that makes the production enticing: it does not follow a linear dramaturgy, but the associative rhythm of the unconscious.
The Unique Theater Atmosphere of Theaterwerkstatt Bethel
The Theaterwerkstatt Bethel has stood for open, inclusive, and artistically aware work for decades. The space at Handwerkerstraße 5 offers an immediate stage experience, where the proximity, presence, and reactions of the audience shape the evening. With a seated capacity of 70 people, a concentrated intimacy is created that is particularly fertile for performative formats. Stage, lighting atmosphere, and acoustics work here like a finely tuned instrument.
A Collaboration with Artistic Signature
The collaboration between Kunstverein Bielefeld, Mira M. Yang, and Theaterwerkstatt Bethel lends authority and profile to the evening. The project connects to a theatrical practice that takes collective processes seriously and develops a shared stage form from individual experiences. Those interested in contemporary theater, performance, and scenic experiments will experience an evening here that does not just claim openness, but actively shapes it.
