A political theater evening that electrifies Aalen

Coup - Guide to Destroying a Democracy presents a provocative contemporary play on May 13, 2026, at the Theater STOA, addressing power, media, and manipulation within a satirically exaggerated vision of the future. The production by Theaterwerkstatt Ostalb, based on the works of Alistair Beaton and Dietmar Jacobs, relies on pace, wordplay, and a political intensity that remains close to our reality.

Satire with a sharp gaze at democracy

At the center is Klara Milkowski, a celebrated cabaret artist whose career is faltering, who then works her way into a dynamic of public outrage, populism, and media escalation. The play illustrates how seductive political simplification can seem when stage, news broadcast, and power play intertwine.

Staging between ensemble power and contemporary pressure

The Aalen production is led by Theresa Kempf; performed by the actors of the Theaterwerkstatt. This promises the intense stage experience for which ensemble theater exists: direct presence, precise dramaturgy, and a theatrical atmosphere where every punchline also functions as a warning signal.
