THEATER DER KLÄNGE Events
The Düsseldorf THEATER DER KLÄNGE invites you into a world where the boundaries between music and movement, between sound and emotion, dissolve. Our music and dance theatre ensemble develops a new production each year, premiering exclusively in Düsseldorf.
For the 2026/27 season we are planning a comprehensive retrospective of our work to mark 40 years of THEATER DER KLÄNGE, under the title “Resonance Space 40”. Our rehearsal studio in Düsseldorf-Pempelfort will become an immersive experiential space, with three to four hour-long immersive audio-visual performances taking place each week. Once a month, a live weekend will be held in the studio, presenting selected productions from our 40-year repertoire — mostly in suite format.
Discover with us other possibilities of contemporary music and dance theatre. Be surprised, moved and inspired by performances in which music, dance and theatre fuse into a unique art form.
The Lacquer Ballet (Suite)
In 1941, from his exile in Wuppertal, Oskar Schlemmer wrote: “I have embarked on an adventure. I can’t help it. For the anniversary celebration I am making a Lacquer Ballet. Made only of colourfully lacquered cardboard, little balls, rods and so on.” It was to become Schlemmer’s last work. We now bring it back to the stage as a suite — figurine sculptures by Christian Forsen, video by Yoann Trellu. Direction and music: Jörg U. Lensing. Choreography: Jacqueline Fischer.
