A Three-Course Menu Full of Surprises and Odd Encounters

A balmy summer evening, three tables in three apartments, and six chairs that become silent witnesses of an unusual theater play: The Studiobühne Erlangen invites you on a journey that is both comedic and pointed through the depths of getting to know each other.

When a First Date Becomes a Culinary Test

Eva and Leonard are not entirely willing participants in the Erlangen running event. Both have lost a bet and now have to go through their first date together. They have known each other for years - and according to their own assessment, they do not match at all. While Eva cannot make much of vegetables, Leonard shows surprising improvisational talent in the kitchen.

Three Apartments, Twelve Strangers, and Plenty of Small Talk

The dramaturgy guides the audience together with the mismatched couple through three apartments and a total of twelve strangers. Each encounter brings a new constellation, a new social experiment, and another surprise on the menu. Between polite phrases, awkward moments, and quirky characters, a lively social game about intimacy, expectations, and the question of when familiarity actually becomes a relationship unfolds.

A Staging with a Sense of Situational Comedy

The stage set emphasizes the apparent simplicity of tables and chairs and transforms these everyday pieces of furniture into venues for changing encounters. Directed by Sylvia Kainbacher, it combines precise character guidance with comedic timing. Text, dramaturgy, and acting work closely together and give the evening its special blend of absurd humor, everyday observation, and emotional tension.

And What Does the Radish Have to Do With It?

The radish initially remains a puzzling object on the fringes of the action. Yet this seemingly insignificant vegetable becomes the humorous leitmotif of the production. It accompanies the characters through a menu where not only the dishes but also the relationships constantly change their shape.

Conclusion: A Theater Evening Between Comedy and Relationship Test

Visitors can expect an entertaining stage experience with pointed dialogues, surprising encounters, and a theater atmosphere that discovers the absurd in everyday situations. Those who enjoy dark humor, ensemble-driven acting, and an unusual dramaturgy will experience an evening full of culinary and interpersonal twists at kubic.
