Theatre, music and readings: New event format invites participation from February 2026
Paul's Kultur(t)raum ( is being created in Darmstadt-Eberstadt that deliberately focuses on intimacy, exchange, and intimate evenings. Behind the project is Helmut Mersch , who is fulfilling a long-held dream with this passion project: to make culture accessible on a small scale – personal, vibrant, and beyond traditional stage formats.
The name says it all. Kultur(t)raum stands for space for culture and, at the same time, space for a dream. There isn't a permanent venue yet, but a suitable space has been found for the first few evenings. Other locations in Eberstadt are also being considered in the future. The plan is to host a cultural evening approximately once a month from October to April – featuring theater, music, readings, and other forms of cabaret.
Opening with a theatrical performance: "The Successful Woman" on February 21st
Paul's Culture Dream kicks off on Saturday, February 21, 2026 , with a theater performance by the 12-Step Theater . The company is led by Agnieszka Kleemann and Torsten Kleemann , who are known for intelligent, humorous, and socially critical plays.
In Eberstadt, they are presenting the play "The Successful Woman ." The story centers on a seemingly perfect protagonist – attractive, intelligent, socially engaged, and favored by fortune. Anyone who gets in her way, however, is in for a rude awakening. The play is satirically pointed, socially incisive, and explicitly not misandrist.
Further information about the play can be found at: www.12-stufen-theater.de/theaterstücke/die-erfolgreiche-frau
Following the performance, the premiere of Paul's Culture Café celebrated with a small premiere party.
