A glimmer of hope for culture lovers: On a free light stage at the highland hall wants to because home theatre-maker Andreas Arneth in July and August, “offer a small-Format” music, drama and readings as a replacement for all of the fancy events.
Weilheim – For weeks Andreas Arneth, Director of the weilheimer city theatre, is working on a concept, such as after the complete event-free months of Corona shutdown a cultural offer on the spot would be possible. It is not necessary to show “that the theatre is dead,” says the 56-Year-old, Heimer founded in 1999, together with the actress and Director Yvonne Brosch is the “because games”. At the same time, it is true, of course, the official requirements for protection against the Virus to adhere to, so appropriate safety measures, clearances, and standards of hygiene.
Also, clubs could the free light stage
“If the regulations remain so and no second wave is coming, we will definitely make what is,” says Arneth – “in a small Format,” he adds. On a small open-air stage on the great highland hall – in the courtyard to the right of the main entrance – he wants to offer in the summer, in the framework of the city’s cultural offer “a small alternative program”: music, readings, and “one, two theatre pieces,” in which one or two (living together) people standing on the stage; also for families and children should be something. The exact programme is being prepared.
We still waiting for official pronouncements of the state government, Arneth, however, discussions with the district office are already underway. In July and August should be played on the outdoor stage “as every weekend”. 30 to 50 seats, the organizer wants to create, of course, with one and a half to two meters distance. The stage will, in part fashioned from Scenes of last year’s “Brandner Kaspar”-staging “that creates atmosphere”. Also entertainment is planned. And in the rain, you could pay with the targeted visit to the city theater to Dodge. It is conceivable, according to Arneth, in addition, that individual Weilheimer clubs take advantage of the open-air stage – “if you stick to the facts”.
