When the festive evening tilts, the real show begins
To celebrate the 100th anniversary, high-profile guests are expected, but the residents do not want dusty songs, but the sounds of their own youth. The conflict between folk songs, 60s vibes, and ABBA hits provides the material for a spirited musical full of pointed scenes, audience atmosphere, and lively target audience engagement. The piece relies on emotion, pace, and direct contact between stage and hall, for which the house has been known for decades.

Music, emotion, and a stage with history
The Contra-Kreis-Theater is one of the oldest private theatres in Bonn and is centrally located in the city center at Hof 3-5. The hall is intimate, and the theatre atmosphere is accordingly approachable; 19 steps lead into the theatre room, which has stood for immediate event experiences since 1950. For visitors, this creates an evening that feels intense not only musically but also spatially. ([contra-kreis-theater.de](https://www.contra-kreis-theater.de/kontakt/))
