Gatsby! Immersive theatre in Görlitz [Germany]
2025-05-10 - 2025-07-13
A 2.5-hour immersive experience in Görtlitz that is only available for a limited time. Follow actors, dance in the swing club, or explore hidden rooms in the large villa.
Extract from the website in German:
Die Goldenen Zwanziger kehren zurück! Mit GATSBY!, einem spektakulären immersiven
Theatererlebnis von Daniel Morgenroth nach dem Roman DER GROßE GATSBY von F. Scott
Fitzgerald, erwartet das Publikum ab dem 10. Mai 2025 eine einzigartige Reise in eine längst
vergangene Epoche. Bis zum 13. Juli 2025 verwandelt sich das historische KEMA-Gelände in
Görlitz in die schillernde Welt von Jay Gatsby.
Zuschauerinnen und Zuschauer bewegen sich frei durch eine aufwendig gestaltete Kulisse
voller Glamour und Geheimnisse – von Gatsbys luxuriöser Villa bis hin zu einem extravaganten
Swing-Club, namens Fitzgerald’s. Nach einem gemeinsamen Start entscheidet jeder selbst,
welchen Wegen und Charakteren er oder sie folgt. Wer bleibt an der Bar stehen, wer entdeckt
geheime Räume, wer tanzt bis zum Morgengrauen im Fitzgerald‘s? Jeder ist seines eigenen
Glückes Schmied und geht auf eine ganz individuelle Reise durch das Long Island der 1920er.

1881, Teatru Malta [Attard, Malta]
2024-12-31 - 2025-03-31
Inspired by international large-scale immersive
theatre, where you are not just a spectator, but
wander through the set, interact with the cast, and
make decisions that will alter the narrative of the
performance. 1881—commissioned by Teatru Malta
and brought to life by the visionary minds of game
designer and conceiver Prof. Gordon Calleja, game
dramaturg and co-writer Rob Morgan, and co-writer
and theatre director Sean Buhagiar—transports you
to a universe where every decision could be your last.
It’s more than a show; it’s an entryway to a forgotten
dimension where time and space warp around your
every move, pulling you into a world of ritualistic
encounters and sensuous experimentation.
Excerpt by Teatru Malta.
