UNCANNY VALLEY

In the organizer's words:

In autumn 2024, the Nachtschatten-Park will open its doors for the first time on the grounds of the Orangerie Theater. This unique theatrical Halloween event in Cologne celebrates the spookiest time of the year with two different shows.
One of them is the interactive horror experience

UNCANNY VALLEY
This immersive haunted house is brought to life by professional actors. For the first time, the production uses several rooms in the area as a backdrop. The approx. 90-minute show is open to anyone over the age of 18.

In this gloomy fragmentarium, the audience enters the cursed garden of the everlasting. The production extends over several nightmare sequences, which are run through one after the other.

FreAkademy Cologne was founded in 2017 and has since produced a total of 16 different productions in the Cologne area.

Drama, dance, short film and performance art merge into a theatrical frenzy in which a fourth wall often no longer exists at all. Illuminating human imperfection is at the heart of the work. FreAkademy is comedy, sadness, lust, pain and madness all under one roof. The plays are usually conceived as a parcours in which the audience passes through several theatrical experience spaces.

Important: We ask our audience to come to the event in weatherproof clothing so that they can walk through the outdoor area without any problems

Trigger warning:
Loudness, darkness, lighting effects, nudity

Content warning: Sexualized violence, death, queer hostility

This production is not recommended for:
Severe asthmatics, people with cardiovascular problems or high blood pressure, epileptics, people with pronounced claustrophobia, pregnant women

The production is unfortunately not barrier-free, we apologize for this.
