The Goggle Club selects one 3. Etage performance a month and teams up with a dramaturg for a relaxed discussion session with audience members.
It’s about chatting freely, with spectators of all ages and levels of knowledge, about audience impressions, approaches, criticisms and perceptions.
There is no linear thread to the sessions; each discussion can be attended in isolation.
Replacement performance for "The Dam (world premiere)". Tickets already purchased remain valid.
A power pack at the heart of the orchestra. The undisputed zenith of the history of music. Such are the flights of hyperbole used by a vain double-bass player to describe his instrument in this comic work by Patrick Süskind. But as the decibels rise the nameless musician’s relationship to his “wretched box” is stretched to breaking point, with him blaming the bass for his hapless love life. An artist wallows in his love-hate relationship with the tool of his calling. The psychogram of a lonely instrumentalist.

Press reviews
Nürnberger Nachrichten/Nürnberger Zeitung
„Dass es (...) Sinn macht, Schauspieler und Musiker gleichermaßen zu sein, bewies jetzt in den Kammerspielen Sascha Tuxhorn: Sein Verhältnis zu dem titelgebenden Klangkörper, der stets wie ein übermächtiges Möbelstück störend im Weg steht, kann als ein erotisches bezeichnet werden. Mit allen Höhen und Tiefen, die eine Liebesbeziehung mit sich bringt. (...) man spürt (...), dass da einer mit sich und mit seinem Verhältnis zu dem Instrument kämpft, sehr persönliche Gefühle artikuliert, weiß, wovon er spricht und was er spielt.“
Bernd Noack, Nürnberger Nachrichten/Nürnberger Zeitung
