A bitterly humorous comedy night about the price of tourism

With Welcome to Schöny – please get the fuck out!, the Deutsches Theater Göttingen presents a world premiere on October 2, 2026 that tackles mass tourism with wit, sharp focus, and insight. Rebekka Kricheldorf tells the story of a place that transforms from a picture-postcard paradise to a crowded area – and of people caught between love for their home, greed, and megalomania. The performance starts at 7:45 PM and lasts about 120 minutes.

Comedy with bite instead of feel-good kitsch

No shallow feel-good feathers will fly across the stage here. Kricheldorf relies on punchlines with a jab, precise timing, and characters that are both ridiculous and frightening. This creates a comedy atmosphere where laughter and discomfort lie closely together – exactly where modern theater becomes particularly sharp. The premiere at DT Göttingen fits this signature perfectly.

A material that reacts to the audience

Schöny is more than an invented village: The evening reflects vacation hunger, housing scarcity, conflicts over quality of life, and the pleasurable self-deception of a booming travel society. The characters do not just discuss tourism; they dissect it with comical precision. This is exactly what creates this special laughter experience where the audience's reaction often begins with laughter and shortly after lands in reflection.

Why the evening is worth it
