A musical that touches the heart: "The Girl with the Pringles Can" in Bamberg

At the ETA Hoffmann Theater Bamberg, youthful joy of performance meets a theme that rarely pushes onto the stage with such force: eating disorders, self-optimization, and the pressure to survive in a ruthless present. "The Girl with the Pringles Can" takes Elisabeth Pape's playtext "EXTRA ZERO" as its starting point and transforms it into a music theater that translates pain, hope, and the fragile search for identity into an intense theatrical atmosphere. On June 13, 2026, at 7:00 PM, the Studiobühne will say for the last time: look, listen, empathize.

When body images become a dramatic conflict zone

The staging by Mathias Noack develops out of a biographically tinted material a musical that does not rely on lightness, but on closeness. This is where the special power lies: music is not a decorative accessory here, but a scenic means of opening up. The characters, as described by the event announcement, are encapsulated, vulnerable, and surrounded by a system that promises healing while simultaneously threatening. This dramatic tension lends the evening a precise psychological contour.

Young voices, strong presence, immediate stage energy

Particularly appealing is the casting of Bamberg youths and young adults, who were specifically cast in collaboration with theater education. This lends the stage experience an authenticity that goes beyond mere role embodiment. When young actors negotiate body image, hunger, fear, and resistance through voice, movement, and choreography, a audience reaction emerges that aims not for distance, but for empathy. The music by Johannes David Wolff and Johannes Klehr, the set design by Ksenia Dudkina and the choreography by Anne Retzlaff support this approach with a clear theatrical handwriting.

A topic with artistic and societal explosive power

Elisabeth Pape's "EXTRA ZERO" was published by Rowohlt Theater Verlag and received special attention, among other things, through the Kleist Promotion Prize 2023. The material thus already carries a strong literary and cultural-political relevance. In Bamberg, it becomes a musical that does not dull the power of the text but sharpens it musically. Especially for an audience seeking contemporary theater with a stance, this evening offers a rare mix of empathy, conflict, and artistic density.
