A dance theater evening in the shadow of David Lynch
With Eat My Fear (UA), the Schauspiel Erlangen brings a new dance theater piece by Caroline Finn to the Markgrafentheater Großes Haus. The production is modeled as a tribute to David Lynch and takes the audience into a world where dream, nightmare, and reality blend together. An intense stage experience is announced for the evening of July 10, 2026 at 7:30 PM in one of Bavaria's most traditional venues.

Surreal images, precise body work
Caroline Finn weaves the uncanny with the everyday in her choreography. The raw material of this piece is not action in the classical sense, but atmosphere: characters, movements, and images create a dramaturgy of the uncertain. This makes the appeal of contemporary dance theater that relies on a strong visual language.

A house with historical aura
The Markgrafentheater, as the oldest still-operating Baroque theater in southern Germany, is one of the most characterful stages in the country. The historical setting gives each performance a special theatrical atmosphere, while the Großes Haus, with around 420 seats, creates space for closeness, tension, and audience reaction. This creates a tension field between Baroque tradition and contemporary stage art for the production.
