Gregor Schneider is creating a complex series of constructed rooms for the Schauspiel Köln. At the address Neuerburgstrasse 21 he’s transforming a large factory building into a claustrophobically intimate universe. The artist treats the situation as a three-dimensional, walk-through sculpture that causes the existing space to disappear. When you purchase your admission ticket you make an exclusive appointment, at a time reserved just for you, to enter this new space—alone. Inside, you pass through a succession of very personal and intimate rooms in which reality and fiction begin to dissolve as soon as they are experienced.
Guests enter the location singly; admittance is at five-minute intervals. Tickets are therefore issued with different (half-hourly) admittance times, i.e. six tickets per half-hour period. We strongly recommend advanced booking.
