Musikalisch-szenische Lesung nach dem gleichnamigen Roman von Joanne Harris
Die Schauspielreihe 2026/2027 im Großen Saal startet mit einem besonderen Auftritt: Das bekannte schauspielende Ehepaar Ann-Kathrin Kramer und Harald Krassnitzer kommt mit einem betörenden und berührenden Märchen für Erwachsene ins Forum.
In einem kleinen, südfranzösischen Dorf eröffnet Vianne Rocher, Witwe und alleinerziehende Mutter, am Kirchplatz eine Pâtisserie, einen kleinen Tempel für feinste Schokoladen. Für den Dorfpfarrer, Curé Francis Reynaud, ist diese Art der „Verführung“ absolut inakzeptabel. Rigoros verbietet er den Mitgliedern seiner Gemeinde jeden Umgang mit der jungen Frau – und wird zu ihrem großen Gegenspieler. Auf äußerst amüsante Weise prallen zwei Lebenshaltungen aufeinander, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten.
Gemeinsam mit vier virtuosen Musiker*innen lassen Kramer und Krassnitzer die Geschichte lebendig werden – und man meint fast, den Duft von Sonne, Lavendel und Schokolade im Theater zu riechen …

More InformationFrequently Asked Questions about the Venue
How do I get to Forum Leverkusen?
The Forum Leverkusen is centrally located in the Wiesdorf district, making it easy to get there quickly and hassle-free. It is just a short walk from Leverkusen-Mitte railway station and the Wiesdorf bus station. We therefore recommend travelling by bus or train. For those arriving by car: the Forum has its own multi-storey car park with 380 spaces. However, the car park at the Forum fills up quickly, particularly during major events. If there is a traffic jam leading up to the entrance to the underground car park, please make sure to use one of the other car parks in the immediate vicinity.
Further information is available on the Forum’s website.
Where can I park at Forum Leverkusen?
The Forum has its own multi-storey car park with 380 spaces. However, the car park fills up quickly, particularly during large events. We therefore recommend reserving a parking space in advance. If traffic is already backing up before the entrance to the underground car park, please make sure to use one of the other car parks in the immediate vicinity.
You can find an overview of parking options around the Forum on the Forum’s website.
Is the Leverkusen Forum accessible?
Yes, the Forum Leverkusen is accessible. In the Main Hall, for example, there are four wheelchair spaces. Access is available via two stairlifts. We recommend booking wheelchair spaces in advance.
Further information on accessibility at the Forum Leverkusen is available on the website.
Can I bring my coat into the event?
Not in all cases. To ensure that all guests can evacuate quickly in the event of an emergency, the following items MUST NOT be brought into the Forum’s event rooms: Winter coats and jackets, large travel bags and rucksacks, booster seats and cushions (unfortunately, due to the folding mechanism of the seats, medical seat cushions are also not permitted in the Great Hall), pushchairs and walking frames, and other items (such as umbrellas) that could pose a tripping hazard. You are welcome to leave these items at the cloakroom. For events organised by the City of Leverkusen, Culture and City Marketing, this service is free of charge. For other events, the cloakroom fee is €1.50.
Is there catering available at the events held in the Forum?
Yes. For larger events at the Forum, our caterer provides delicious snacks or fresh finger food, as well as refreshing drinks. This allows visitors to enjoy a bite to eat or a speciality coffee even before the event begins. After the event, there is usually an opportunity to raise a glass with a refreshing drink. Further information is available on the Forum’s website.
