The 24/25 season of Oberhausen Theatre is dedicated to Germany’s complex “Erinnerungskultur” (culture of remembrance). Full of ambivalence, anxiety, and the search for guilt and atonement, it weaves through the nation’s consciousness. Artists, bridging intellectual and urban spaces, play a crucial role in confronting such themes—standing between chaos and creation, they offer ways to face the legacy of collective catastrophe.
Visually, this season breaks from the romantic aesthetic of previous years. Instead, it embraces formal reduction to reflect the seriousness of its subject. The design avoids ornamentation, using bold, angular shapes and a palette of red, black, and white. The typography is plain, and contradictions—visual and thematic—become part of the structure.
Negative imagery flips familiar perspectives, creating a dialectic tension that feels both normal and uncanny. As before, each production is paired with a key visual developed in collaboration with the ensemble, inviting audiences into its core themes.

奧伯豪森劇院24/25演出季的主題是德國複雜的「記憶文化」（Erinnerungskultur）。這種文化充滿矛盾、焦慮，以及對罪惡感和贖罪的追尋，深植於德國人的意識之中。藝術家們穿梭於知識空間與都市空間之間，在面對這些主題中扮演著至關重要的角色⸺他們遊走於混亂與創造之間，為人們面對集體災難的遺留問題提供了途徑。

本演出季在視覺上突破了往年的浪漫主義美學，轉而採用形式上的極簡主義，以凸顯其主題的嚴肅性。設計摒棄了繁複的裝飾，運用大膽的棱角分明的造型和紅、黑、白三色。字體簡潔明瞭，視覺和主題上的矛盾也融入其中，成為結構的一部分。

負面意象顛覆了人們熟悉的視角，營造出一種既熟悉又怪誕的辯證張力。與以往一樣，每部作品都配有一個與劇團合作開發的關鍵視覺元素，引導觀眾瞭解其核心主題。
