Christmas Eve: An Intense Chamber Play at the Turmtheater Regensburg
A confined space, an impending catastrophe, and two people whose truths seem irreconcilable: Daniel Kehlmann’s theater thriller Christmas Eve leads the audience into a suffocating night filled with fear, control, and moral responsibility.
An Interrogation just before Midnight
At the center is philosophy professor Judith, who is taken by police from a taxi for questioning. Investigator Thomas is convinced that she is involved in a planned attack that is set to take place within 90 minutes. A linguistically precise duel of interrogation develops between them.
Truth, Guilt, and Manipulation
The production raises fundamental questions about guilt and innocence, trust and suspicion, as well as the fragility of democratic values. While Thomas unfolds his scenarios, Judith remains calm and evades his certainties. Each statement changes the perspective on the events.
Atmosphere at the Turmtheater
The Turmtheater is located on the sixth floor of the historic Goliath House above the Regensburg old town. The intimate stage with 79 seats creates the closeness of a modern chamber play and intensifies the tension of this theater evening. The audience experiences a concentrated exchange of blows with great linguistic precision.
A Theater Evening with Current Resonance
Christmas Eve combines psychological tension with social reflection. The piece casts a spotlight on power, surveillance, political fear, and the question of how secure supposed certainties are. The performance is aimed at theater enthusiasts and anyone who wishes to experience a demanding, dialogue-rich chamber play.
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, the performance begins at 7:30 PM at the Turmtheater Regensburg. Doors open at 7:00 PM. A ticket costs 32 euros in category I; discounts are available.
Conclusion
Visitors can expect a tension-filled theater evening in an extraordinarily concentrated atmosphere. Those who want to experience a modern chamber play about fear, power, and the search for truth live will find in Christmas Eve an urgent reason to visit the Turmtheater Regensburg.
