Haunting at the Kulturforum Fürth: An acoustic theater experience about memory, loss, and history

With Haunting, a live radio play takes to the stage at the Kulturforum Fürth, merging literature, acting, and sound space into a dense stage experience. Jenny Erpenbeck's novel tells the story of a house by a Märkisch lake, where a whole century of German history is reflected - from the 1920s to the present.

A House as the Chronicler of Time

The production unfolds its power from the precise dramaturgy of the novel: people come and go, losing possessions, homes, and certainties. The architect who flees to the West. The Jewish cloth merchant whose property is erased. The writer who observes the upheavals of the GDR in her own garden. From these biographical fragments, a multifaceted play emerges about historical breaks and private fates.

Sound, Silence, and the Poetics of the Radio Play

As a live radio play, Haunting does not rely on spectacular images, but on the suggestive power of language, on sounds, voices, and acoustic spaces. The rustling of the lake, the monologues of the inhabitants, and the atmosphere of the house shape an intense auditory theater that makes memories audible rather than illustrating them. It is precisely in this that the special theatrical atmosphere of this evening lies.

Jenny Erpenbeck's Novel on Stage

The novel, published in 2008, is considered one of the defining works of contemporary literature and is repeatedly debated as a challenging adaptation on German stages. Press reviews regularly emphasize the challenge of transforming Erpenbeck's poetic language into a scenic form - and also the great impact when this succeeds. In Fürth, this material finds a place that, with its open, acoustically vibrant spatial effect, offers ideal conditions for a concentrated auditory experience.

The Kulturforum Fürth as a Venue

The Kulturforum Fürth combines historical architecture with modern event technology. The large hall accommodates up to 300 people and creates a striking backdrop for cultural events with sandstone, steel, and wood. Barrier-free access is provided via ramp and elevator, and a disabled restroom is also available. The nearby parking garage of the Stadthalle and the Stadthalle subway station facilitate arrival.

Conclusion: An Evening for All Who Want to Experience Theater as a Space of Memory

Haunting promises a concentrated evening full of literary force, acoustic nuance, and historical depth in Fürth. Those interested in theater, contemporary literature, and clever adaptations will experience a compelling stage experience that resonates long after. An event for all who want to not only understand history but feel it on stage.
