Holy Evening: A thrilling theater night at the Turmtheater Regensburg
As the city quiets down and the night before Christmas begins, a dense psychological chamber play unfolds at the Turmtheater Regensburg. Holy Evening by Daniel Kehlmann connects societal questions, moral decisions, and gripping dialogues to create an intense theater experience.
A race against time
On December 24th, shortly before midnight, philosophy professor Judith is taken by the police from a taxi for questioning. The suspicion: she may be involved in a planned attack. Only 90 minutes are left for the search for truth. The action unfolds as a concentrated interrogation where arguments, doubts, and personal beliefs collide.
Philosophy, conscience, and social responsibility
The play focuses on central questions of human action: How far does personal responsibility extend? What significance do freedom, security, and moral consequence have? In the unique intimacy of the Turmtheater, an intense experience of faith is metaphorically developed: a religious experience is not the subject of the evening, but the production invites internal contemplation of conscience, truth, and responsibility.
Theater in a special atmosphere
The Turmtheater is located on the sixth floor of the historic Goliath House above Regensburg's old town. With 79 seats, a bar, and a homely atmosphere, the venue offers immediate closeness between the stage and the audience. The view of the old town and the concentrated atmosphere create the perfect setting for this dialogue-driven play.
