A House that Breathes History: Visitation at the Kulturforum Fürth
With Visitation, the Stadttheater Fürth presents a literarily rich theater evening as a live radio play. Jenny Erpenbeck's novel condenses a whole century of German history into the traces of a house by a Markish lake – poetic, painful, and of great clarity.
Literature becomes sound, memory becomes presence
Anna-Lena Kühner's direction works with voice, atmosphere, and acoustic precision. When the rustling of the lake, the voices of the residents, and the subtle shifts of time intertwine, a stage experience emerges that makes you feel rather than explains. This form unfolds its special theatrical atmosphere, especially in the Small Hall of the Kulturforum: concentrated, close, and immediate.
A novel about possession, loss, and the silence of things
Jenny Erpenbeck tells of a property that accommodates and loses new people over decades. A Jewish cloth trader, a writer in the GDR, an architect on the run, an ageless gardener: Their life paths connect into a multi-layered dramaturgy about flight, expropriation, remembrance, and transience. The stage adaptation in the live radio play format condenses these perspectives into a poetic resonance space, where acting and storytelling closely align.
Strong handwriting, clear ensemble
With Anna-Lena Kühner in direction, Andreas Braun for the stage, Anke Kreuzer-Scharnagl for costumes, and Udo Eidinger in dramaturgy, a precisely constructed theater evening emerges. Boris Keil, Janina Zschernig, and Jürgen Heimüller lend their voices to this narrative and give the material the tension that Erpenbeck's prose needs on stage: inwardly, awake, and of quiet intensity.
An evening for audiences with a sense for nuances
Visitation is aimed at audiences aged 16 and over and all those who understand theater not just as action but as perception. Those who engage with the quiet force of this material will experience an evening that combines historical depth with atmospheric density. The Kulturforum Fürth provides the fitting framework for this: close to the text, close to the performance, close to memory.
Conclusion: Visitation promises an intense live radio play between literature, the music of language, and theatrical art. An evening that resonates long after and leaves the audience with fine images, strong voices, and a moving view of German history. Secure tickets now and experience this special performance live.
