When Silence Becomes Salvation: Ewald Arenz's “Old Varieties” at the Fürth City Theater
The novel adaptation of the bestseller by Ewald Arenz takes the audience into a world where language, landscape, and emotional vulnerability merge into a quiet, intense reading atmosphere. In the courtyard between fields and vineyards, a loud theater evening does not emerge, but rather a literary experience of great closeness, carried by the themes of escape, trust, and healing.

A Chamber Play Full of Quiet Power
“Old Varieties” tells the story of Sally, who escapes from the clinic just before her finals, and Liss, who offers her shelter without questions. From this encounter grows an author-encounter in the best sense of the word: A story about two women who do not need to explain themselves but instead slowly find each other through their shared work on the farm. The stage adaptation focuses on narrative condensation, psychological accuracy, and literary quality rather than effect.

Between Harvest, Indian Summer, and Inner Movement
The material lives from images of nature, from potato harvest, tree drawing, and the old pear varieties of the orchard. This is exactly where Ewald Arenz's language art lies: His prose combines emotional delicacy with a clear, almost poetic observation of the present. The fact that “Old Varieties” is among the author's most successful novels and has long been on the bestseller lists underlines the cultural resonance of the text.
