Youth theater in Parchim: Only freedom inspires on July 19!

In less than three days, the Parchim Theater Hall becomes a stage for the exciting piece "only the freedom", which was set up by the 11th grade of the Goethe-Gymnasium Schwerin. The performance will take place on July 19 at 5 p.m. and is characterized by an exciting mix of one's own creativity and bonds to Friedrich Schiller's “Die Räuber”. This in -house production could turn out to be a real crowd puller because it treats burning topics such as classism, gender and identity. A report by the Nordkurier already describes the challenges that the preparation brought with it. Rehearsals under difficult conditions, such as offensive classmates and disorders from a celebration in the next room, were the order of the day.

But the team, consisting of committed students: inside, could not be done. The theater group worked on this project for over a year. At its core, this group, which was initially active in the AG area, now plays in the basic upper level basic course and deals intensively with their own biographies and family stories. The topics from your research and writing project have been felt too private for the school stage, but too important to completely reject them. This led to a unique connection between the personal stories and the elements of Schiller's work. The status of Berlin Festival emphasizes how the piece has developed its own narrative, which consists of school texts, Schiller-Fragments and moving comments.

special challenges and talents

The last rehearsal before the performance brought additional challenges, since to change a role of 17-year-old Richard W. spontaneously stepped in. This shows the great commitment of the students: inside and their teacher Anne-Kathrin Holz, who comes up with 34 years of experience in the theater. Your instructions are crucial to guide the students: on the inside through the emotional and artistic turns.

The actors: Inside are a colorful duo that is supplemented by Elya R., which as a long -time member of the theater group plays different roles. Your acting skills could offer the key to convey the complex topics of the piece in a sensitive way.

culture with social relevance

In times when identity and gender issues are more in focus than ever, it becomes clear how important such productions are for young people.

The issues are negotiated in a protected framework and offer young people the opportunity to find and strengthen their own voices.
