For You in Augsburg: Intense theater evening at the brechtbühne in Gaswerk

An emotionally touching theater evening about origin, family, and the courage to embark

With “For You”, the Augsburg State Theater is bringing a novel adaptation based on Iris Sayram to the stage of the brechtbühne in Gaswerk on June 4, 2026, at 6:00 PM. The evening plunges into a family story that tells of love, social ascent, classism, and migration, drawing the audience into an approachable, intense theater space.

A substance that gets under the skin

Iris Sayram's autobiographically influenced text creates a poignant monument to her parents and describes how difficult belonging and social ascent can be even in a wealthy country. The production at the Augsburg State Theater reflects this perspective and condenses it into an immediate theater experience full of memories, traces, and stories.

Audience proximity in a unique stage space

The performance does not take place in a classical theater house, but in the Gaswerk area in Augsburg-Oberhausen, which is used as a distinctive interim venue for the State Theater. This creates a special event experience for the audience with its own ambiance, concentrated audience atmosphere, and palpable closeness to the stage events. The venue has been used by the State Theater since 2019 and is anchored in the Gaswerk site.

Arrival, parking, and comfort

The Gaswerk is easily accessible by public transport; there is also a parking garage directly across from the venue. On performance days, a free taxi shuttle from Oberhausen train station to the brechtbühne is offered, and parking options on site are limited, which is why arriving by public transport is recommended for larger events.
