Drama and memory: Reading in the Wehrmacht prison in Anklam

A very special event awaits visitors in Anklam on Thursday, November 13th: a performative reading in the former Wehrmacht prison. The city of Anklam and the Vorpommersche Landesbühne invite you to the production called “Isolation between the trains” at 7:30 p.m. Text is combined with acting, dance and singing to create one of the emotional highlights of the event year.

What makes this reading so exciting? This artistic performance tells the story of a former Gestapo prisoner who only had a chess book at his disposal while in solitary confinement. In the midst of loneliness and inner madness, his memories awaken during a ship voyage. The artistic implementation is in the hands of Maximilian Sterba and Ellen Henning, who want to create an immersive atmosphere with their performance.

Special framework conditions

However, places for this exclusive event are very limited. Only 20 people can take part, which is why it is advisable to secure tickets in good time. These are available both at the Vorpommersche Landesbühne and at the city information center in the Ritz. Visitors should also prepare to come dressed warmer as the rooms will not be heated.

The term “performative” refers to public, often artistic, performances that can create a special atmosphere. This event is sure to include elements that promise a mix of humor, poignancy and raw authenticity. It is precisely this art form that has the potential to draw viewers into the middle of the action and activate their emotions. The focus here is on real actions rather than merely depicting symbolic actions, which underlines the performative quality of the reading.

Culture and commitment in Anklam

However, this reading is not the only cultural highlight that Anklam has to offer. Recently, innovative projects have been launched again and again that aim to keep history and memories alive in creative ways. This type of engagement shows how important cultural events are to the community and the impact they can have on visitors' awareness.

Anklam will continue to be a place where art and history come together in a surprising way. While some around the world focus on glamorous events, such as the appearances of stars like Sydney Sweeney, who recently appeared on the red carpet in a daring see-through dress, Anklam shows in his own way the importance of cultural connection.

Be there when the doors of the former Wehrmacht prison open on November 13th! An incomparable experience awaits participants who want to engage with the power of history and art. Don't miss this special event and secure your tickets!
