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 Mechanical Ballet (Suite)
The founding production of Theater der Klänge from 1987. A scenic reconstruction of Kurt Schmidt’s “Mechanical Ballet” and László Moholy-Nagy’s “Mechanical Eccentric” — those Bauhaus stage works in which form, movement, sound and light become their own subject. We bring selected scenes from the Mechanical Ballet to the stage as a suite.
