Waldgeschratet at Theater Hof: Legends from Upper Franconia Become Stage Music

Myths, Music, Dialect: Waldgeschratet ignites Upper Franconia's treasure of legends

A theatrical-musical stage experience in the studio of Theater Hof: From ancient legends, vibrant stage art emerges. The theatrical atmosphere intensifies when Franconian dialect, precise staging, and auditory finesse bring the legendary figures of the region into the present.

Staged Storytelling: Legends in the Rhythm of the Stage

The dramaturgy focuses on pace, clear tableaux, and pointed transitions. Director Philipp Brammer transforms narrative material into scenic miniatures that hit the heart without detours. The acting craft of the ensemble meets live music by Harry Tröger and Ralf Wunschelmeier – a play of words, rhythm, and echo.

Set Design, Costumes, Light: Sensual Images of Fog and Wood

Aylin Kaip's stage and costumes unfold a palette of natural tones and rough materials: wood, fabric, metal. Uwe Masch's light modulates veil of fog, moonlight, and hearth fire – acoustics and lighting mood interact to create that dense atmosphere where the White Woman, Cloud Mover, and Devil's Table take shape.

Dialect Meets High German: Sound Colors of the Region

The lyrics sound Franconian and High German, musically arranged by Michael Falk. The ear hears dialect colors, the eye reads precise playing impulses: This creates a storytelling music that feels archaic and simultaneously pulsates contemporarily.

Audience Reaction: Wonder, Smirk, Goosebumps

Typical of this theater evening: spontaneous laughter, approving murmurs, silent listening. The mixture of humor, horror, and gentle melancholy invites identification – homeland as the backdrop of one's own memory.

Conclusion: A compact, 85-minute theater evening without an intermission, rich in images, rhythms, and regional narrative power. Those who want to rediscover the roots of Upper Franconia will experience a poetic showcase of home – live, close, unadorned.
