An evening between dark comedy and sharp zeitgeist
With Doping, the German Theatre Göttingen is presenting a play on 07.10.2026 at 20:00 that addresses performance, body, politics, and self-optimization with biting wit. The preliminary coverage already indicates: Here, theatre atmosphere meets societal friction, leading to an intense event experience. The production is based on the play by Nora Abdel-Maksoud, who gained attention with her work on renowned stages and as the Emerging Director of the Year 2017 award winner.

When performance becomes a trap
At the center is Lütje Wesel, an ambitious politician advocating for maximum individual freedom and minimal state intervention. When his body fails him on the eve of the campaign finale, the power dynamics tip into a grotesque emergency. The German Theatre Göttingen thus relies on a precise mix of dark comedy, societal tension, and emotional depth.

Strong handwriting, clear stage, palpable tension
The production is directed by Schirin Khodadadian; the stage and costumes are designed by Carolin Mittler, the music by Johannes Mittl, and the dramaturgy by Theresa Leopold. The evening also comes with an important note: strobe lighting will be used. This means a dense, modern, and concentrated theatre experience for the audience, with a strong focus on atmosphere and impact.
