A theater evening about youth, power, and the flicker of the present

With Real Time Age, the Munich Volkstheater brings Tonio Schachinger's acclaimed novel to the stage as a German premiere. Jan Friedrich condenses the coming-of-age story into an evening that combines school pressure, digital escape, and the fragile search for belonging with fine wit and a sharp eye. The performance lasts 2 hours without an intermission and takes place on Stage 1.

Between Classroom and Play World

At the center is Till, new at a traditional gymnasium, caught between draconian pedagogy and his own retreat spaces. The novel paints a sensitive social study that gains its theatrical sharpening at the Munich Volkstheater: lessons as friction surfaces, youth as a power field, gaming as an alternative world. It is here that the special tension of this production unfolds.

Dramaturgy with Tempo and Precision

The version by Jan Friedrich focuses on condensation, rhythm, and scenic clarity. The stage and costumes by Max Schwidlinski, music by Friedrich Byusa Blam, and the ensemble including Julian Gutmann, Lorenz Hochhuth, Henriette Nagel, Max Poerting, Lasse Stadelmann, and Genet Zegay create a stage experience that connects literary introspection with a lively theater atmosphere. The material gains contour between laconic simplicity, lightness, and underlying melancholy.

Press Voices and Resonance

The house itself refers to press voices that attribute joy in performance, literary accuracy, and great theater pleasure to the evening. The production taps into the potential of the novel, which was awarded the German Book Prize 2023, and translates it into a form that links young life realities and critiques of the educated bourgeoisie with theatrical presence. Those who appreciate contemporary spoken theater with attitude will experience an evening of rare relevance.

What the Audience Can Expect

Real Time Age promises a smart, energetic theater evening about growing up, self-assertion, and the question of where tradition supports and where it constrains. The Munich Volkstheater creates a framework in which language, play, and image merge into a succinct cultural moment. This stage experience should be seen live.
