Glitter, Freedom, and Vibrant Stage Art at the Edwin Scharff Museum
For International Museum Day, the inclusive HEYOKA theater transforms the Edwin Scharff Museum in Neu-Ulm into a place full of music, imagination, and democratic questions. With the play Glitter Cat, people with disabilities, people with mental illnesses, dedicated amateur actors, and professionals come together on stage in a shared theatrical experience that seeks closeness instead of distance.
A Play that Speaks from the Present
HEYOKA develops its works from a collaborative process and not from a rigid text template. For Glitter Cat, the themes of freedom and democracy are at the center. The Glitter Cat appears as a poetic image of self-determination, dignity, and individuality. Music, movement, and direct address shape a production that takes childhood curiosity seriously while also touching adult visitors.
Inclusion as Artistic Power
The ensemble explicitly works inclusively. It is precisely from this that the performance gains its special tension: different perceptions, varied biographies, and a shared theatrical energy. The stage here does not serve as a space of distance, but as an open encounter. The audience experiences a theater atmosphere with real human breath, spontaneous reactions, and a kind of presence that lingers long after.
A Museum Day with Dual Character
On May 17, 2026, the museum additionally offers free admission and a diverse program. The theater performances take place at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and last around 45 minutes according to HEYOKA, followed by a creative activity around the blue bus. Those looking to combine culture, family programming, and participatory theater will find a particularly accessible stage experience here.
Location with Good Connections and Clear Orientation
The Edwin Scharff Museum is located at Petrusplatz 4 in Neu-Ulm, near the train station and city center. Barrier-free access, an elevator, a tactile orientation plan, wheelchair, walker, and mobile seating options are available at the venue. Parking spaces for people with disabilities are available in the underground garage at Petrusplatz, and more free spaces are available at the St. Johann Baptist Church/Johannesplatz. Assistance and guide dogs are also welcome.
Conclusion: An Afternoon for Head, Heart, and Senses
Glitter Cat at the Edwin Scharff Museum promises not a loud spectacle, but a finely observed, music-rich, and inclusive theater encounter with social depth. Those who want to experience how stage art playfully opens up democratic questions should see this guest performance live.
