MONDO Musiktheater

[Translate to Englisch:] Mondo Musiktheater

The new MONDO Musiktheater production 2025/2026

* work in progress *

The MONDO-Casting for 25/26 has now ended. The cast is already creating the new show. The shows will take place in January and February 2026! You can see the schedule down below in the pink section.


The general theme of the new MONDO play will be: “What if...?”. Important life decisions always have a huge impact on one's own life. The play will deal with the question in an artistic way: What will the future look like for me if I decide this way or that?

You can be excited! It will again be energetic, cross-genre with different styles of dance and music and, of course, humorous. The show will also feature acrobatic elements.

The Mondo Music Theater
The Mondo Musical Group (as it was called then) was founded in 2007 on the occasion of the 550th anniversary of the University of Freiburg. Under the direction of theater director Jesse Coston and the musical direction of Dominik Hormuth, 30 students presented the brilliant revue "The Show" on a large open-air stage in the university courtyard. The success was huge and since then MONDO has been thrilling Freiburg audiences with a changing student ensemble and new productions every year.

Under the direction of director Stephanie Heine, the participating students receive professional instruction in acting, dance and singing and actively shape the creative process - from an initial play idea to the finished stage production. They contribute their own ideas and perspectives, write dialogues, select musical pieces and design the stage set. This is how musical theater with a local and student connection is created, authentic, young and real.

Around 1600 spectators see the annual performances in the MensaBar. Imaginatively staged, they always come across as original and witty, fresh and cheeky, bubbling over with playfulness and at an astonishingly high level of singing and dancing. The shows are accompanied live by the MONDO Musical Band, which plays newly arranged hits from rock, pop and musicals as well as melodies composed especially for the play.
