Chillingly Cheerful Through Centuries: The Ballad in the Old Franciscan Monastery
In the LANDSHUTmuseum, history comes alive as a stage experience: actresses guide through the medieval monastery, music immerses the cloisters in atmosphere, a welcome drink sharpens the senses – and a historical criminal case unfolds its dramatic grip.
A Crime Night Between Arcades and Acoustics
Where monks once prayed, today direction and dramaturgy condense the traces of a mysterious death. The acting works with proximity: short scenes, pointed dialogues, finely set light moods. The acoustics of the vaults carry the ballad like a resonance space – every step echoes, every whisper becomes part of the theatrical experience.
History as a Walkable Staging
The Old Franciscan Monastery has served as a monastery, infirmary, university building, and brewery. These layers shape the stage design of the tour: stone walls as a backdrop, historical exhibits as props, costume details as time markers. Stations direct the gaze, the directorial guidance maintains pace and tension without sacrificing historical precision.
Audience Reaction: Goosebumps and Knowing Looks
The format combines scenic interpretation with museum accuracy. Typical are moments of astonished applause when the narrative shifts from superstition to science – and the question of the cause of the deaths suddenly becomes concrete. In the end, it is less about shock and more about a satisfying feeling of having come closer to a mystery.
