The Great Theater of the World
by Pedro Calderón de la Barca
Translated by Joseph v. Eichendorff with original music by Clara Gervais performed by the travelling theater troupe buehnen dautenheims together with the local Posaunenchor
On their tour across Germany from Alzey-Dautenheim to Berlin, the travelling theater troupe buehnen dautenheims will make an appearance at Wiepersdorf Castle Park on 31 July. With 17 performances in 17 days, the troupe will travel through 6 German states by tractor and two hay wagons that form the World Theatre Stage.
Calderón's play THE GREAT THEATER OF THE WORLD shows the world as a stage on which people play their god given roles. Two hay wagons from the Dautenheim agricultural machinery collection, which were used for field work throughout Europe from the Middle Ages to the middle of the 20th century, form the basis of a baroque, mobile wagon stage. One of the wagons carries the celestial sphere of the Creator, the other the World Globe, and everything in- between is the Stage of Life, where the decisive questions of the cosmos are played out.
The musical-theatre production THE GREAT THEATER OF THE WORLD, with an original composition for strings and wind instruments by Clara Gervais, is based on a musical-theatrical research project of the Baroque Corpus Christi play based on Calderón's EL GRAN TEATRO DEL MUNDO. The music carries the language of the actors in a sound tapestry compoesed of contemporary form language with motifs taken from the Spanish early Renaissance.
The ensemble buehnen dautenheims consists of a group of professional directors, stage designers, musicians, actors, local actors, and craftsmen who have been working together for a summer theater production in Alzey- Dautenheim (Rheinhessen) for ten years.
