An intense theater evening before the premiere in Ulm
The evening for Our Father opens on May 12, 2026, at the Theater Ulm, providing an early glimpse into a production that will come to the stage with psychological tension, dark humor, and a strong characterization. The occasion is the first Ulm stage adaptation of the novel by Angela Lehner, adapted by Jessica Sonia Cremer. The event begins at 7:00 PM in the Podium.bar and is aimed at everyone who wants to experience theater not just by watching, but in the context of its creation.

What this evening is about
At the center is Eva Gruber, who reflects on her past, her family, and her own perception of truth in conversations with chief psychiatrist Dr. Korb. The play moves between trauma, provocation, and manipulation and thrives on exactly the tension that draws the theater audience into its grip. The evening thus sets an analytical tone before the premiere and kindles excitement for an evening that speaks to both mind and emotion.

Theater atmosphere in the Podium
The Theater Ulm, as the oldest municipal theater in Germany, combines a long history with a flexible performance space at Herbert-von-Karajan-Platz. The Podium is designed as a transformable stage and offers with the Podium.bar a more intimate setting for formats such as evenings, introductions, and workshop discussions. This closeness shapes the event experience: focused, atmospheric, and close to the artists. ([theater-ulm.de](https://www.theater-ulm.de/theater/geschichte?utm_source=openai))

For the audience, this creates an evening spanning literature, acting, and dramatic anticipation, providing important insights into the staging, character constellation, and thematic world even before the premiere.
