What to expect

The Altonaer Theater Hamburg performs a stage version of Dave Eggers' novel, in a German translation by Ulrike Wasel and Klaus Timmermann.

The story follows 24-year-old Mae, who joins the company Der Circle, where transparency is the top rule, and sees it turn into a system of total surveillance.

The 2013 novel is often compared to Orwell's „1984“ and is especially recommended for a younger audience.

The Altonaer Theater brought out the German premiere of the play in 2025.

  • Stage: Jörg Kiefel

  • Choreography: Marie Stieper
