Fairy Tales Come to Life
When the Central Library at Haidplatz opens its doors, a journey begins into a world full of foolish heroes, enchanted beings, and wondrous encounters. At Don’t Tell Me Fairy Tales! – Or Should We?, Cordula Gerndt and Bärbel Jogschies will tell fairy tales from the works of the Upper Palatinate linguist and folklorist Franz Xaver von Schönwerth freely and orally on October 14, 2026.
The Power of Spoken Storytelling
No book separates the storytellers from the audience. Voice, rhythm, pauses, and eye contact shape the performance immediately in the space. From just a few words, internal stage pictures emerge: dark forests, mysterious paths, and characters whose fates unfold differently in the mind of each listener.
Franz Xaver von Schönwerth Rediscovered
The focus is on tales from the regionally significant collector Franz Xaver von Schönwerth, a contemporary of the Brothers Grimm. The event combines cultural mediation, storytelling art, and theatrical atmosphere. Traditional materials receive a contemporary dramaturgy through free interpretation and invite reflection on their significance for children, families, and adults.
A Stage Experience for Multiple Generations
The 45-minute event is aimed at children, families, and adults. The small performance area in the living room of the Central Library creates intimacy and makes every audience reaction palpable. Amidst excitement, wonder, and softly humorous moments, a shared experience emerges where imagination becomes the real stage.
Conclusion: Experience Fairy Tales Together
Don’t Tell Me Fairy Tales! – Or Should We? promises a concentrated stage experience with vibrant theatrical art, narrative precision, and regional cultural history. Admission is free, and no registration is required. Those who wish to experience fairy tales not just by reading but in their original power of spoken word will find a special afternoon in the heart of Regensburg.
