Inside

An evening where the cinema in your head raises the curtain

With Legends, LightsDownLow invites you to a special live radio play at the Heinrichsaal in Fürth. Four new pieces, four epochs, four authors: The ensemble transforms a darkened hall into a stage for voices, sounds, and internal images. The production combines theatrical atmosphere, acoustic precision, and narrative fantasy into a stage experience that is equally comedic, eerie, and thought-provoking.

Four stories, four times, a common pull

The preliminary reports from LightsDownLow paint a panorama of literary and historical references: Parzival, the Water Ghost of Harrowby Hall, Franz Schmidt from medieval Nuremberg, and the mysterious Welsh Canwyll Corff. From these motifs, an evening emerges that understands legends not as dusty traditions but as a vibrant form of storytelling. The mixture of medieval material, Victorian ghost stories, and experimental radio plays promises a production that finely balances between horror and irony in its dramaturgy.

When language, sound, and darkness drive each other

LightsDownLow relies on the classical power of radio plays: speakers on stage, a dense soundscape, coupled with the absence of visual distractions. This creates that rare intensity, where the audience not only listens but also co-directs, as every sound in the room triggers an image. The complex sound direction supports the so-called cinema in the head and turns the darkened hall into a resonance chamber for imagination, tension, and attention.

An evening between world tour and workshop spirit

According to the collective, LightsDownLow is going on a small tour with the production. This reveals much about the ensemble's working method: no rigid repertoire, but a flexible theater that recharges stories on the road. This mobile form sharpens the focus on the production itself. What matters on stage are concentration, timing, and the precision of the spoken word. There lies the strength of this live radio play: in the connection of closeness and imagination, of craftsmanship and poetic openness.

Conclusion: For those who want to not just see theater but hear it

Legends promises an atmospherically dense evening for culture enthusiasts who want to be swept away by voices, sound spaces, and literary material. Those seeking sensual theater, strong dramaturgy, and the rare experience of a live radio play will find a date with special radiance at the Heinrichsaal.
