Fairytales awaken in the living room of the Central Library
When Cordula Gerndt and Bärbel Jogschies tell stories on November 4, 2026, in the living room of the Central Library at Regensburger Haidplatz, a small event room transforms into a stage for foolish heroes, enchanted beings, and wondrous encounters. The 45-minute event combines free oral storytelling with regional cultural history and invites children, families, and adults into the fairytale world of Franz Xaver von Schönwerth.
The Power of the Spoken Word
No book separates the storytellers from the audience. Voice, rhythm, pause, and eye contact shape the dramaturgy immediately in the room. From the language emerge inner stage pictures: dark forests, mysterious paths, and figures whose fate each listener continues to draw with their own imagination.
Franz Xaver von Schönwerth Rediscovered
At the center are fairytales from the collection of the Upper Palatinate folklorist, linguist, and fairy tale collector Franz Xaver von Schönwerth, a contemporary of the Brothers Grimm. The staging translates these traditional materials into a contemporary form of storytelling. Tradition and improvisation meet, while the acting skills of the storytellers give the old tales new suspense.
Intimacy, Imagination, and Theatrical Atmosphere
The living room of the Central Library creates an intimate theatrical atmosphere. Every nuance of acoustics, every movement of the voice, and every audience reaction becomes palpable. Instead of elaborate stage design, the power of storytelling suffices: Imagination takes over the scenery, and the audience becomes part of the stage action.
A Stage Experience for Multiple Generations
The offering is aimed at children, families, and adults. This cross-generational perspective makes the afternoon particularly special: Younger listeners discover fairy tale images, while adults experience the regional traditions and the timeless dramaturgy of the stories anew.
Conclusion: Don't Tell Me Fairytales! – Or Maybe? promises a concentrated stage experience with lively storytelling, cultural roots, and plenty of room for personal imagination. Those who want not just to read fairytales but to experience them in their original power of spoken word will find a special afternoon at Haidplatz. Admission is free, and no registration is required.
