Dionysos in Munich: Theater Evening in the Courtyard of the Glyptothek

Dionysos in the Courtyard of the Glyptothek: an Evening Between Intoxication, Antiquity, and Present

With Dionysos, the Glyptothek Theater Games continue their Munich summer playtime in the courtyard of the Glyptothek on September 7, 2026 at 8:00 PM. The play focuses on the conflict between rationality and irrationality and promises a theater evening that skillfully brings together antiquity, physicality, and current questions.

Atmosphere in the Courtyard

The courtyard of the Glyptothek at Königsplatz is one of the most atmospheric cultural places in Munich. The classicist museum building, the open courtyard situation, and the quiet location in the city create a special event experience that combines summer lightness with a historical backdrop.

A Theater Evening with a Clear Signature

The Glyptothek Theater Games have been working in the courtyard of the museum for over 30 years and are supported by the team around Alex Novak and Sven Schöcker. The production is seen as an encounter with great themes of theater history that are newly questioned in a contemporary staging. For Dionysos, the program lists Sven Schöcker as the director, with Christine Garbe, Julia Gröbl, Rainer Haustein, and Martin Schülke on stage.
