A Home Evening that Goes Under Your Skin
“Brown Socks. A Home Evening” brings to the stage on June 13, 2026, at the Gliesmaroder Thurm in Braunschweig a 70-minute satire that is not easily humorous and hits the discomfort much more precisely. The production by Theater Zeitraum relies on immediate presence, sharp texts, and a stage atmosphere where images of home, fantasies of power, and grotesque self-overestimation mercilessly clash.

Satire with Dangerous Friction
The material brings together four characters in an apartment, where they work on a right-wing extremist manifesto. They resort to revisionist and anti-democratic texts, sing, ritualize each other, and escalate into a world of home kitsch, authoritarian fury, and grotesque delusion. It is precisely this mix of documentary sharpness and satirical exaggeration that makes the evening at the theater so pressing.

Dramaturgy Between Laughter and Fear
With around 70 minutes of playing time and without a break, the performance condenses its impact in a small space. The form forces concentration: no evasion, no breath, just the constant pull of a production that does not comfortably release the audience. The audience reaction is likely to occur precisely where theater is strongest: in the tipping moment between pleasure and disturbance.

A Venue with Its Own History
The Gliesmaroder Thurm at Berliner Straße 105 provides a fitting framework for this. The hall accommodates up to 180 guests according to the operator; at the same time, the location has good transport connections, a stop on Querumer Straße, and a parking lot right by the house. This mix of proximity, overview, and local anchoring strengthens the theater atmosphere of this evening. ([gliesmaroder-thurm.de](https://www.gliesmaroder-thurm.de/feiern.html?utm_source=openai))
Directorial Handwriting with Braunschweig Profile
Responsible is Theater Zeitraum Braunschweig under the direction of Gilbert Holzgang, who has been working there as a freelance dramaturg and director since 2000 and represents documentary theater forms. This artistic handwriting also shapes the home evening: precise research, clear stance, and an approach that does not smooth over social reality but makes it visible.
