Multiple Lives: An Evening about Identity, Origin, and the Personal In-Between

With Multiple Lives, the Schauburg at Elisabethplatz presents a participatory theater project that focuses on Munich youth and their diverse life worlds. Eight young performers share their experiences with school, the future, love, homesickness, language, and the daily tensions between multiple cultures.

A piece that draws its strength from everyday life

The production by Ulrike Günther does not rely on distance, but on closeness. The stage experience emerges from personal stories, direct communication, and a theatrical form that develops from the material itself. As a result, each scene acquires a unique immediacy. Between kitchen tables, immigration offices, and hope, a vibrant panorama of young contemporary life is created.

Participatory theater with documentary force

The young performers shape both the content and form as experts of their own lives. This approach imbues the evening with documentary tension without losing the poetic level. Songs, prejudices, lyrics, and very concrete everyday situations weave together into a dramatic collage that tells the story of the diversity of urban biographies. This is precisely the strength of this production: It portrays not only conflicts but also self-assertion, humor, and a sense of belonging.

Direction, stage, and sound as part of the narrative

The direction by Ulrike Günther, who has worked multiple times at the Schauburg, condenses the experiences of the youth into a clear theatrical handwriting. Set design by Andreas A. Strasser, costumes by Marie Jaksch, and music by Samuel Reißen lend the piece visible precision. This creates a theater atmosphere that feels concentrated, open, and emotional at the same time.

Why this evening lasts

Multiple Lives speaks about identity not from a distance, but from the heart of lived everyday life. This makes the performance an intense evening for everyone who wants to experience contemporary theater, youth culture, and societal issues in a clever connection. Those interested in moving stage art with conviction should not miss this date in Munich.
