RuhrBühnen*Spezial at Ruhrtriennale

With Europa, director Krzystof Warlikowski creates an intensive story about violence, guilt and the fragile act of narration itself. On Monday, 31 August 2026, the Ruhrtriennale and the RuhrBühnen network invite you to an immersive evening – for a special price of €15.

Europa is based on Europa’s Pledge by Wajdi Mouawad. At its centre stands Europa, a woman haunted by a massacre she witnessed as a child – carried out by her own people. She summons her daughters, who struggle to speak, remember, and connect, bound to a past they did not experience, yet cannot escape. The story emerges in fragments: names of atrocities, some real, some invented, blur fact and fiction, confronting the audience with repression and the instability of history.

Tickets for the RuhrBühnen*Spezial are available exclusively for the performance on 31 August 2026 via our webshop.

A new stage, a new theatre highlight every month – and a ticket price of just €15: that's the RuhrBühnen*Spezial. Behind this offer is the RuhrBühnen network, an association of eleven theatres and two festivals in the Ruhr area.
