750 Years of Lauffen am Neckar
A commissioned production by the city of Lauffen a. N.
A treasure trove of memories also needed to be lifted for Lauffen, which might otherwise simply have been lost in the course of time...
Ulrike Kieser-Hess
Theater Anu from Berlin stages selected topics and personalities of the city of Lauffen in an extraordinary installation made of hundreds of canopies: Whether the great adventure of the first German polar expedition, the unity of bathing and baking in Lauffen, the search for the angel painter Zionsbäck or about the mock "Brazil" during World War 2. The cement dust that was once so characteristic of the town and the first electricity transmission from Lauffen to Frankfurt are also part of the production.
Visitors are invited to discover curious, funny and tragic stories of their city. In a dream world of floating canopies, they are brought to life in a sensual and emotional way. A bridge is created to times long past - a connection to the people who used to live in Lauffen.
The production does not claim to be documentary, Theater Anu transforms researched stories and personalities into a poetic theatre of encounter.
Encountering people and events from the city's history is what the actors of Berlin's Theater Anu have in mind, who have created the delicate installation that repeatedly opens up amazing insights into the anno dazumal. Ingenious.
