When the smartphone becomes a stage: Ghost me, if you can at MiR

In the Small House of the Music Theatre in the Revier, family life meets digital confusion, music theatre meets Physical Theatre, and a dispute at the dinner table plunges into an adventure through the logic of social media. Ghost me, if you can combines pop opera, movement, language, and music into a stage experience that appeals to both young people and adults.

A dispute that tumbles into the data world

From a seemingly familiar moment, a conflict grows with force: Parent and Teen collide in a heated debate about mobile phone use, chats, and social media. What begins as a generational dispute opens up into a imaginative journey through smartphones, family photos, feed jungles, and folder labyrinths. The spirit that pulls both into the digital depths works not merely as an effect, but as a dramatic key: It makes visible how much our daily lives are shaped by screens, data streams, and algorithms.

Physical Theatre with clear access

The collective sticky fragments develops the play version in shared authorship with school classes and a senior group. This is precisely where the production gains its special tension: different perspectives condense into a form that is neither didactic nor cerebral, but immediate and present. Movement, language, and music interweave, the direction focuses on rhythmic dynamics, clear images, and a stage art that works with physical presence instead of overwhelming.

Musical energy between pop, pulse, and poetry

The music by Victoria Stellpflug carries the narrative with pop ballads and driving beats. This creates a theatrical atmosphere where sound does not merely accompany, but tells. Ghost, Parent, and Teen dive deeper into a colorful, sometimes chaotic adventure world of pixels and memes. It is precisely this intertwining of musical immediacy and digital imagery that makes the performance alluring: The piece thinks of the network not just as a theme, but as a theatrical form.

Accessibility as an artistic principle

Particularly noteworthy is the consistently considered accessibility. Sticky fragments work with the practice of Aesthetics of Access and address their works to blind, visually impaired, and sighted audience members alike. For Ghost me, if you can, a creative, integrated audio description in the play text and a multisensory stage space is created. Thus, accessibility is understood not as an addition, but as part of the artistic signature.

What the audience can expect

On June 25, 2026, visitors to the Small House of MiR can expect contemporary music theatre that translates generational conflicts, digital identity, and collective experiences into a vibrant stage language. Anyone curious about a clever, sensual, and experimental theatre experience should mark this evening and experience it live.
