On Saturday, 5 September 2026 at 20:00 and Sunday, 6 September at 19:00, Rufus Beck takes audiences on a fantastic journey "Von der Erde zum Mond" (From the Earth to the Moon) - based on the classic novel by Jules Verne.

The well-known actor, director and narrator (Harry Potter audiobooks) presents his own witty, contemporary adaptation of Verne's story as a multimedia theatre production featuring live music by the Göttinger Symphonieorchester and animated projections that transport viewers into a world where science, satire and adventure collide.

Beck slips into numerous roles - among them club president Impey Barbicane, his rival Captain Nicholl and the eccentric Frenchman Michel Ardan - and tells the story of an audacious project, the first journey to the Moon, with pace and charm. Minimal props and atmospheric projections create a vivid theatrical experience that engages the audience on both an intellectual and emotional level.

About: Rufus Beck

Rufus Beck is the only child of a business-owning couple. Because his parents traveled extensively abroad, he lived in the boarding school of the Odenwald School. After graduating from high school in 1976 and completing his civilian service, Beck studied Islamic Studies, Ethnology, and Philosophy at the University of Heidelberg, but later dropped out. From 1976 onward, he appeared as a musician and acting student at the Heidelberg Municipal Theatre. The following year, he was a guest performer at the Saarland State Theatre, followed by engagements at the Tübingen State Theatre, the Frankfurt Theatre, the Cologne Theatre, the Bavarian State Theatre, the Munich Kammerspiele, and the Berliner Ensemble. He later also appeared as a guest performer at the Berlin Renaissance Theatre (2006), the Stuttgart State Theatre (2010), and the Hamburg Kammerspiele (2014).
