When words shine and feelings cast shadows
On Sunday, November 15, 2026, the stage Campus Golzheim in Düsseldorf transforms into a poetic resonance space for the great and small truths of love. The matinee Shadows, Light and Love combines literature and music into a sensual stage experience with Sybille Karrasch on the piano and Wolfgang Keuter reciting.
Literature between passion and irony
The dramaturgy of the evening weaves through a multifaceted tapestry of poems and texts by well-known and lesser-known authors. Mascha Kaléko, Joachim Ringelnatz, Heinrich Heine, Hilde Domin, and Erich Kästner represent different tones: dramatic, passionate, cheerful, comical, ironic, and occasionally marked by fine sarcasm.
This creates not a one-dimensional declaration of love, but a literary mosaic about closeness, loss, desire, and memory. Each voice opens a new perspective, each text casts a different beam of light on human emotion.
Piano sounds as emotional resonance
Sybille Karrasch accompanies the recitation on the piano. Her music is not merely a background, but an independent dramatic partner to the language. Rhythms, melodies, and timbres add depth to the texts and create a second narrative space between the spoken lines.
Wolfgang Keuter interprets the texts with concentrated acting skills, making their inner movements audible. In the connection of voice, pause, and musical atmosphere, an intimate staging unfolds that speaks directly to the audience.
Theater atmosphere at Campus Golzheim
TheaterLabor TraumGesicht stands for experimental stage art, intensive acting work, and encounters with both classical and contemporary forms. The stage Campus Golzheim creates a concentrated space where literature is not presented distantly, but can be experienced as a lively process.
Light and shadow appear not only as motives of the program. They become theatrical images for the contradictions of life: for hope and disappointment, comedy and melancholy, closeness and loneliness. It is precisely these changing moods that give the matinee its poetic tension.
A literary stage experience for curious senses
Shadows, Light and Love is aimed at all who enjoy hearing literature, experiencing music intensely, and discovering the fine transitions between reading, concert, and theater. The event is not suitable for children under six years; the spaces of the TheaterLabor are largely barrier-free.
Conclusion: Visitors can expect an atmospheric matinee between recitation, piano music, and acting. Those who want to experience love not as a smooth emotional world, but as a tension-rich landscape of life will find in this production a special morning full of sound, language, and inner movement.
