A biting comedy about the cost of traveling
The German Theater Göttingen invites you to a pointed premiere of Rebekka Kricheldorf's Welcome to Schöny – please get the fuck out!. The comedy leads to the once idyllic fishing village of Schöny, whose beaches, mountains, old town, and pilgrimage legend have long become a magnet for mass tourism.
Vacation setting with cracks
Where once there was manageable hospitality, now overcrowded streets, rising prices, and scarce housing prevail. A globally successful television series exacerbates the influx. Between souvenir shops, wellness promises, and protests, a societal microcosm is formed, where each character defends their own idea of prosperity, home, and freedom.
Wordplay meets social analysis
Rebekka Kricheldorf combines sharp dialogues with a multi-layered dramaturgy. The production questions whether long-distance travel represents a human right, how many people actually benefit from tourism, and whether a morally defensible vacation is even possible. Behind the comedy opens a bitterly funny look at capitalism, consumption, and the longing for the perfect travel destination.
Precise direction, green stage design
Erich Sidler directs the ensemble with focused direction through this satirical whirlwind. The set design by Lara Roßwag creates an artificial vacation landscape, in which the supposed idyll can tip at any moment. Music, choreography, and costumes condense the theater atmosphere into a moving panorama between vacation dream and ecological disillusionment.
An evening with reverberations
The two-hour performance combines numerous laughs with questions that extend beyond the theater evening. Press reviews praised the production as lively, witty, and socially awake; the premiere audience celebrated the evening vocally. Visitors can expect a comedy with pace, acting talent, and a reflection of the present.
Conclusion: Welcome to Schöny – please get the fuck out! transforms the vacation idyll into a smart stage landscape full of contradictions. Anyone who wants to experience theater with satirical sharpness, precise dramaturgy, and a current social perspective should attend this performance live at the German Theater Göttingen.
