Regardless of some technical hiccups, the captivating fairytale traveling theater successfully enchants its spectators
In a surprising turn of events, the wandering theater "Sound and Cherries" had to improvise their performance at Meyenburg Castle's Park on Saturday evening. Originally, they were set to perform "Once Upon a Time and Not..." as part of the Prignitz Summer cultural series, but a series of technical mishaps thwarted their plans.
Despite the setbacks, Kerstin Mudrak, the series coordinator, kept the arriving guests informed about the situation. Chairs were passed out through the castle window, and the audience made themselves comfortable on cushions and newspapers on the ground, eagerly anticipating the show.
The troupe, consisting of actors Margarete Biereye, David Johnston, Polina Borissova, and Maximilian Friedel, rose to the challenge and delivered an improvised performance that left the audience in awe. The unique, spontaneous nature of the show seemed to captivate viewers, creating a memorable experience.
The performance included a variety of elements, from music and dance to fairy tales. Margarete Biereye enchanted guests with a dance to piano music, and the story of the Stern Children's Grimm version of "The Turnip" was part of the performance. The improvisation was so well-received that even an elderly lady placed a five-euro bill on the table, expressing her willingness to pay for the performance.
Despite the lack of props, the artists managed to find a piano in the castle, which they incorporated into their performance. The audience responded with great enthusiasm and appreciation, showing that the show's creativity and the performers' adaptability resonated strongly even in the face of challenges.
The improvised performance was a success, with the audience captivated throughout and applauding at the end. Interestingly, the day before the planned performance in Meyenburg Castle, the wandering theater had enchanted its audience in Lenzen, selling 204 tickets, setting a record.
Despite the technical issues at Meyenburg Castle, the wandering theater "Sound and Cherries" will perform in full length at several locations in Brandenburg in August. You can find more information about their schedule on their website at www.freie-daku-brandenburg.de.
In conclusion, the improvised performance of Sound and Cherries at Meyenburg Castle was a testament to the power of creativity and adaptability in the face of adversity. The audience's enthusiastic response and the performers' ability to deliver an unforgettable show despite the technical challenges made for a truly memorable experience.
In the midst of the unexpected performance, the lifestyle of the wandering theater "Sound and Cherries" transformed into a home-and-garden atmosphere as guests sat on cushions and newspapers in the castle park. The entertainment provided by the troupe, led by Margarete Biereye, David Johnston, Polina Borissova, and Maximilian Friedel, was a unique blend of music, dance, and storytelling that deeply resonated with the audience.
