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.

Admission and tickets

The performance begins on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at 7:30 PM. Admission starts at 7:00 PM. Tickets for the first seating category are available from 32 Euro. Discounts apply, among others, to students, apprentices, people with disabilities, and wheelchair users.

Conclusion

Visitors can expect an intense theater evening that combines political thriller, philosophical dialogue, and psychological tension. Anyone who wants to experience acting up close and engage with questions of truth, responsibility, and conscience will experience Holy Evening best live at the Turmtheater Regensburg.
