When the Night Whispers Stories: “In Dark Times” at Trausnitz Castle
At Trausnitz Castle, darkness itself becomes the playing field. The guided tour with performance by Commedia Kumpanei takes the audience on Saturday, September 26, 2026, into that sphere where myths, superstition, and historical memory intertwine. What begins as a nighttime walk develops into an atmospherically dense stage experience under the open sky.
A Walk Through Shadows, Stone, and Memory
The production focuses on the power of the location. Castle walls, courtyards, and historical perspectives are not merely a backdrop but part of the dramaturgy. The night watchman compiles stories about rascals, monsters, and the eternal tempter into a theater walk that works with hauntingly beautiful images and makes the theater atmosphere immediately tangible.
Historical Scenes That Are Moving
Commedia Kumpanei stands for vibrant history with performance, costume, and precise addressing of the audience. The tour takes place entirely outdoors and leads to areas of the castle that are usually not accessible. This proximity to the historical space gives the evening a special tension: The grave digger tells of plague victims, the devil crosses the path, and the audience's imagination complements the images with their own inner stages.
Dramaturgy Between Legend and Horror Tale
The strength of this format lies in the mixture of historical anchoring and narrative sharpening. Instead of a classic theater space, a walkable scenario emerges, where light mood, darkness, and movement guide perception. For families with older children from about ten years old, an accessible and impressive cultural format is created that combines museum experience and theatrical art.
Practical Information for Your Visit
The evening lasts about one hour and begins at 8:00 PM. The meeting point is the ticket office of Trausnitz Castle.

Conclusion: A Special Evening for All Who Seek Theater as an Experience
“In Dark Times” is not just a tour but a poetically condensed stage experience in a historical space. Those who immerse themselves in legends, performance, and the magic of the night will experience Trausnitz Castle in a rare intensity. An event for culture enthusiasts, families, and all who want to not just hear history but walk through it.
