Digital Violence, Resistance, and a Strong Premiere at the Theater in the Garage

With I kill you back (UA), the Schauspiel Erlangen presents a premiere that aims directly at the present: at hate online, digital invasions, and the question of how self-assertion sounds today when apparent freedom becomes a mined terrain. On 03.07.2026 at 20:00, a concentrated stage experience unfolds at the Theater in der Garage for visitors aged 13 and older.

When the Internet Becomes a Stage of Power

The evening begins with a young woman who is torn between her everyday world and the online space. Eating, drinking, sleeping, school, name, skin, doubt – and on the other side, the promise of boundless self-designs. Yet the production shows how quickly the digital free space becomes a space of pressure: creeps, haters, stalkers, hate speech, cyberbullying, doxing. The piece condenses these mechanisms into a clever, sharp theater text about vulnerability and resistance.

Dramaturgy with Pace, Sharpness, and Counterlight

The premiere is conceived as a precisely crafted contemporary dramaturgy. Director David Moser collaborates with Clara Liepsch, Johannes Rebers, and Alida Stricker on material that allows for no distance. Music, video, light, and the intimate setting of the studio stage intensify the theater atmosphere into an immediate experience. The characters shift between injury, irony, and resistance; from this arises an intense performance that does not illustrate social reality but makes it palpable.

A Small Space with Great Impact

The Theater in der Garage is perfectly suited for such material. The flexible seating, the intimate closeness to the ensemble, and the concentrated acoustics of the venue make every movement visible. Those who sit here experience no distance, but presence: breath, gaze, pause, escalation. It is precisely in this that the strength of this evening lies.

Relaxed Performance and Sensitive Audience Situation

The production indicates a Relaxed Performance. This means: the house lights are not completely turned off, the auditorium can be exited and re-entered at any time, and a contact person is available in front of the auditorium. Especially with a topic like digital violence, this creates an important, trusting framework for attending the theater.

Conclusion: An Evening That Resonates

I kill you back (UA) promises no comfortable theater, but a clever, exciting, and emotionally charged stage experience. Those seeking contemporary drama with attitude, strong acting, and a subject of high social urgency should experience this premiere live.
