Experimental Theater & Support for Emerging Artists

BASTA – A Devised Piece by the Spiel.Raum Youth Club

"Everyone talks about Basta – but not with him."

A highly gifted student becomes the focus of a project: he must graduate, ideally with calculus, vectors, statistics, and probability. But Basta has other concerns. Dreamy, headstrong, and full of questions, he loses himself in thought – and yet no one hears him.

The Spiel.Raum ensemble brings "BASTA" to the stage – a moving and honest youth play about pressure to perform, being different, and the need for genuine human connection.

Performance dates:

  • Sat, July 5 – 7:00 p.m. 
  • Sun, July 6 – 6:00 p.m.
  • Mon, July 7 – 11:00 a.m.


All events take place at Theater Combinale, Hüxstraße 115, Lübeck.
