About Szene 13 Studio Theatre Festival

On Saturday, June 13, 2026, at 7:30 PM, the Studio Theatre at the Lessingtheater Wolfenbüttel invites you to the annual festival "Szene 13". The 2026 edition focuses on the choreographic laboratory "A PLACE TO BE", developed by the Studio Theatre members over a period of several months. The festival showcases the theatrical work of young adults at the Wolfenbüttel City Theatre and offers insights into contemporary movement and theatre forms.

The Studio Theatre at the Lessingtheater

The Studio Theatre at the Lessingtheater Wolfenbüttel is a group of young adults who meet regularly for joint theatre productions. Unlike purely leisure-oriented theatre groups, the Studio Theatre works closely with the professional structures of the Lessingtheater, utilizing its spaces, equipment, and artistic guidance. The annual festival "Szene 13" is the public presentation of the season's work.

"A PLACE TO BE" – Choreographic Laboratory

The 2026 edition is dedicated to the choreographic laboratory "A PLACE TO BE". In this format, the Studio Theatre members have explored questions of belonging, spatial appropriation, and physical presence. The result is a choreographically influenced stage production that oscillates between dance theatre, performance, and acting moments.

Character and Significance

"Szene 13" is not a conventional theatre festival, but a showcase of an educational format. This is precisely its appeal: instead of finished productions, audiences experience work in progress that still reveals its rehearsal process, thus offering young theatre enthusiasts direct insight into the practice.

Lessingtheater as Sponsor

The Lessingtheater Wolfenbüttel is one of the oldest theatres in Lower Saxony. Through its commitment to the Studio Theatre, the institution invests in systematic talent development, enabling young people to access stage work and establishing the theatre as a place for vibrant cultural exchange.
