Schauspielhaus Bochum

Located in the western part of Germany in the city of Bochum, Schauspielhaus Bochum for more than one hundred years has been one of the leading places for contemporary theatre and performing arts in the German speaking theatre scene. Since 2018, Johan Simons is artistic director. He and the team of Schauspielhaus Bochum envision this place as a city theatre for the 21st century where artists from different nations and cultures and different disciplines can find a creative home. The core of the theatre is its permanent acting ensemble – one that brings cultural influences from different nations in Europe and around the world with it. Each season, Schauspielhaus Bochum produces various new performances of drama, dance and interdisciplinary art. For its outstanding programme, Schauspielhaus Bochum has been awarded 2022’s “Theatre of the Year” in the region of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
