Hall of Fans: What does it mean to be a fan?
On Thursday, October 15, 2026, the Young National Theater Mannheim invites teenagers from 13 years old for a special theater experience. Hall of Fans explores the fascination of fan culture, community, and stars – right in the midst of personal enthusiasm, group dynamics, and societal power.
Between Enthusiasm and Belonging
Why does one become a fan? And how does genuine belonging arise from interest? Henrike Iglesias and Mona Louisa-Melinka Hempel have met people in Mannheim and the surrounding area, collected their stories of being a fan, and attended football and ice hockey games. This results in a lively theater evening about visible and quiet forms of enthusiasm.
Fan Culture as a Social Topic
The production focuses on the relationships between fans and their stars. It questions what influence stars have on their supporters – and what power fan communities can develop when they act together. The boundaries between being a fan, fandom, and standom also come to the stage.
A Theater Experience for Teenagers from 13 Years Old
In the Young NTM hall, the audience and ensemble meet in an event that connects pop culture, personal experiences, and contemporary theater. The audience atmosphere arises from questions, observations, and different perspectives: Can one be a fan of a friend, a fantasy character, or an ordinary person? What role does gender play in being a fan and a star?
Followed by a Discussion
The performance on October 15, 2026, begins at 11:00 AM and will be accompanied by a discussion. This provides the Young National Theater with space for exchange and a deeper engagement with the topic of the event. The Early Boarding format is aimed at a young audience and connects careful event planning with direct participation.
