Color Film in Göttingen: Nina Hagen's Life as a Theatrical Music Spectacle
On November 9, 2026, the Deutsche Theater Göttingen transforms into a colorful stage for Color Film. The production by Jette Büshel combines acting, music, comedy, and political questions into an extraordinary event experience about Nina Hagen, the Godmother of Punk.
A Body-Swap Comedy with Nina Hagen
At the center is an unusual encounter: Just before a major television appearance, Nina Hagen finds herself in the body of an unremarkable young woman. As both try to revert the body swap in time, a fast-paced theater evening unfolds, filled with spiritual experience, pop culture, and quirky humor.
Music, Light, and Stage Energy
The event atmosphere thrives on well-known songs like You Forgot the Color Film, I Stare at TV, and Indescribably Feminine. The stage, costumes, and video by Thorben Schumüller create a kaleidoscopic sea of lights. Michael Frei is responsible for the music, while Theresa Leopold handles the dramaturgy.
A Tribute to the Nonconformist Artist
Color Film portrays Nina Hagen not only as a singer but as a contradictory, politically engaged, and always changing personality. Her stance on peace, the environment, women's rights, and social freedom shapes the evening just as much as her eccentric stage presence.
Audience Mood and Press Reactions
The approximately 90-minute production without an intermission blends musical nostalgia with critical theater and comedic exaggeration. The premiere audience greeted the performance with prolonged applause. The Göttinger Tageblatt described the evening as thrilling, while the HNA highlighted the vocal performance and musical closeness to Nina Hagen.
Conclusion: A Theater Evening Full of Color and Attitude
Visitors can expect an energetic event experience with live music, acting, video aesthetics, and an extraordinary story. Those who love Nina Hagen, experimental theater, and surprising stage moments will experience an evening between punk, pop, and political fantasy at the Deutsche Theater Göttingen.
