The Shadow Theater Festival in Gmünd has opened to a captivated audience. The festival, which is being hailed as the „World Capital of Shadow Players,“ kicked off on Friday evening with a performance by the Landestheater Tübingen in the Stadtgarten.
One of the highlights of the festival is a performance of „Frankenstein,“ which marks the opening of the theater season in Gmünd. In addition to the performances, artists have been busy creating a shadow tree as a new addition to the city’s map. This art installation is set to become a focal point for visitors and locals alike.
Another exciting event at the festival is a performance by the Collegium Vocale to celebrate their 40th birthday. This performance is just the first part of a larger gift to the community, as the Museum im Prediger has recently received a donation of silverware inspired by the Sahara.
In addition to the theater performances and art installations, there are also exhibitions taking place in Gmünd. One such exhibition, titled „Brüchige Routinen,“ is currently on display at the Kornhaus. This exhibition explores the theme of fragility and routine, offering a unique perspective on everyday life.
For those interested in youth theater, the Jugendspielclub „Theatraliker“ of the VHS recently premiered their production of „Die Welle“ at the Theaterwerkstatt Gmünd. This adaptation of the classic story offers a fresh take on an old theme, captivating audiences of all ages.
As the festival continues, attendees can look forward to more exciting events, including the Messe 126 showcasing „Schmuck und Gerät“ over the weekend. This trade fair promises to be a hub of creativity and innovation, highlighting the best of Gmünd’s artistic community.
