A Poetic Journey Between Childhood Dream and Reality

With “Republic of Dreams”, a theater performance based on Bruno Schulz comes to the Ludwig-Thoma-Haus Dachau. The staging is based on “The Cinnamon Shops” and is dedicated to a world where childhood dreams and supposed reality touch in a fascinating way.

Between Dream and Reality

Bruno Schulz is known for his poetic, vivid language and his unique perspective on childhood, memory, and imagination. The theater adaptation captures this floating atmosphere and makes the boundaries between experienced, dreamed, and reality the central theme of the evening. What initially seems familiar can transform into something enigmatic, surreal, or wondrous in the next moment.

At the center is not only a literary basis but also a fundamental human experience: the intense perception of the world in childhood. Everyday places, encounters, and impressions can gain their own significance. The performance invites spectators to pay attention to these in-between spaces and engage with an unusual stage world.

Theater Experience in Dachau

The event takes place at the Ludwig-Thoma-Haus Dachau. The house provides the framework for a staging that connects literature, stage art, and imagination. Visitors can expect a theater performance based on a significant text by Bruno Schulz, where not the clear separation of reality and dream, but their fluid transition is at the forefront.

“Republic of Dreams” is part of the German-Polish Cultural Days. The performance is aimed at everyone who appreciates literary theater forms, poetic imagery, and unusual narrative styles. Even those who are not yet familiar with Bruno Schulz’s “The Cinnamon Shops” can understand the evening as an invitation to engage with the special atmosphere of the source and its theatrical implementation.

The theater performance on October 16, 2026 promises a thoughtful and atmospheric evening in the sign of memory, imagination, and the open boundary between childhood dream and reality.
