A stage like a film strip

Director Carsten Kirchmeier draws on the original film as an aesthetic model and transforms the performance area into a living film strip. This creates a theatrical atmosphere where musical, grotesque, and visual language intertwine closely. The production relies on sharp contrasts: tender love hopes, glaring show lights, demonic wit, and the ever-growing discomfort before the hungry plant.

Alan Menken's songs, Howard Ashman's language, pure stage magic

The piece is based on Little Shop of Horrors by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, translated into German by Michael Kunze, premiered in 1982. The combination of satirical plot and musical earworm quality has made the work a favorite of audiences for decades. In Gelsenkirchen, this template meets an ensemble that precisely exploits the mix of comedy, pace, and vocal power. Among the participants are Wolfgang Wilger in musical direction, Nikko Forteza as Seymour, and Tamara Köhn as Audrey.
