Color Film: Nina Hagen as an Icon of Resistance on Stage

With Color Film, the German Theater Göttingen presents a theatrical song spectacle about Nina Hagen, an artist straddling punk, pop, provocation, and political stance. On October 11, 2026, the staging by Jette Büshel combines musical theater, body-swap comedy, and visual stage art into an extraordinary artistic experience.

A Meeting with the Godmother of Punk

Nina Hagen was celebrated as a talent extraordinaire even in the GDR. After her move to the Federal Republic, she developed into a radical voice in music history with the Nina Hagen Band. Her eccentric singing, which bridges opera, spoken word, and screaming, has left an indelible mark on punk and new wave. Songs like You Forgot the Color Film, TV-Stalker, and Indescribably Female represent an art that defies conventions.

Body-Swap, Pop Culture, and Political Energy

At the center of the plot is Hannah, a student who returns to Göttingen after abandoning her studies. While a jubilee show with Thomas Gottschalk is being prepared, a fantastic encounter occurs: Hannah finds herself in Nina Hagen's body, while Nina Hagen is confronted with Hannah's appearance. From this surreal setup, a colorful play about identity, public images, and the freedom to reinvent oneself emerges.

Color, Light, and Musical Work Examination

The stage by Thorben Schumüller combines costumes, video, and light to create a kaleidoscopic exhibition atmosphere in the theater space. The aesthetic experience thrives on strong contrasts, moving images, and a consciously exaggerated pop aesthetic. Music, facial expressions, and physicality merge into an installation of theater, concert, and performance.

Artistic Stance as Cultural Education

Color Film presents Nina Hagen not just as a musician but as a living legend and source of inspiration for those standing against injustice and oppression. Peace movements, environmental protection, women's rights, and support for the LGBTQ+ community form the political resonance space of this stage work. The staging invites a contemplation of the work and makes visible how pop culture shapes societal debates.

Conclusion: An Intense Theater Evening with Music and Stance

Visitors can expect a 90-minute musical theater experience filled with nostalgia, humor, surreal comedy, and political reflection. Color Film engages eyes, ears, and minds alike. Those wishing to experience Nina Hagen, experimental theater, and a sensual aesthetic experience live should not miss this evening at the German Theater Göttingen.
