Roses Rising – The Dinner | Performative stage tour

Performative stage tour for girls, young women, and queer youth aged 12 and up

Please register at tickets@hebbel-am-ufer.de

    English / 

    Step into the rebellious world of this dinner play: five young women gather at a dinner party, dreaming of a different world – even though they don’t yet know how to reach it. During our performative stage tour, you’re invited to spend time with the performers both on and behind the stage, experience selected scenes from the play, and get up close to the costumes and styling. “Roses Rising – The Dinner” is inspired by 1970s youth culture and explores what it feels like to face a world in crisis every single day.
