Loriot 100 at the Junge Theater Göttingen: Comedy with a fine social edge

Loriot 100: When the fine irony of everyday life conquers the stage

On October 10, 2026, the Junge Theater Göttingen dedicates an equally witty and pointed theater evening to the great humorist Loriot. In cooperation with the Göttingen Literature Autumn, the production Loriot 100 brings selected dramatic works by Vicco von Bülow to the stage and combines precise acting with that unmistakable comedy that makes societal quirks visible behind polite facades.

Between Bathtub, Egg, and Bourgeois Facade

Loriot's characters do not fail due to grand world drama, but rather due to small everyday situations: a breakfast egg becomes a fundamental question, the bathtub becomes the scene of marital negotiations, and a noble estate develops its own dynamics. The dramaturgy thrives on subtle shifts, artfully placed pauses, and the tension between spoken politeness and unspoken despair.

A Production with Regional Reference

The theater evening also builds a special bridge to the region. Vicco von Bülow completed his Abitur in Northeim, while Evelyn Hamann, his later film and television partner, once belonged to the ensemble of the Junge Theater Göttingen. Thus, the Loriot evening gains a local theater-historical color in addition to its timeless humor.

Direction, Set Design, and Musical Precision

The staging and design is taken care of by Hüseyin Michael Cirpici. Pat Hansen-Wagner is responsible for the set design, plans, and implementation, while the musical direction is led by Steffen Ramswig. On stage, Susanne Rösch, Malin Kraft, Fynn Knorr, Steffen Ramswig, and Jan Reinartz perform. The interplay of set design, costumes, timing, acoustics, and lighting creates a theatrical atmosphere in which every gesture can become a comic miniature.

Audience Proximity with Great Impact

The production premiered on October 31, 2023, as part of the Göttingen Literature Autumn in the Stadthalle Northeim. Critical voices praised the ensemble for not merely delivering copies of the known original cast. The Göttinger Tageblatt reported on an audience that celebrated the performers and the production team so extensively that encores followed.

Conclusion: An Evening for Lovers of Clever Comedy

Loriot 100 promises a pointed stage experience between social satire, acting art, and loving observation of human weaknesses. Those who want to experience Loriot's linguistic rhythm, his absurd everyday scenes, and the elegant art of exaggeration live will find an evening full of recognition, surprise, and liberating laughter at the Junge Theater Göttingen.
