An evening full of dark humor, tragedy, and surprising zest for life in Aalen

With I hired a contract killer, the Württembergische Landesbühne Esslingen is bringing a tragicomedy to the stage of the Stadthalle Aalen on October 9, 2026, which oscillates between melancholy, absurd wit, and fine theater poetry. The guest performance as part of Stage Experience 2026/27 combines acting, precise organization, and strong characters into an intense event experience.

When despair meets comedy

The story follows Henri Boulanger, whose life falls apart after being fired. What starts off dark soon opens up towards hope, encounters, and new perspectives. It is exactly this mix that makes the evening so special: the audience experiences a theatrical atmosphere that touches them, makes them smile, and lingers long after.
