When Fairytales Become Living Stage Art
On November 11, 2026, the living room of the Central Library in the Thon-Dittmer-Palais transforms into an intimate storytelling space. Cordula Gerndt and Bärbel Jogschies will take children, families, and adults into the fairytale world of the Upper Palatinate folklorist, linguist, and fairytale collector Franz Xaver von Schönwerth.
The Power of the Spoken Word
Without book pages and elaborate stage designs, mysterious forests, foolish heroes, enchanted beings, and wondrous encounters are created through voice, rhythm, pauses, and eye contact. The art of free oral storytelling turns every tale into an immediate stage experience that unfolds further in the audience's imagination.
Franz Xaver von Schönwerth Rediscovered
The focus is on fairytales from the collection of Franz Xaver von Schönwerth, a contemporary of the Brothers Grimm. The production connects regional cultural history with modern storytelling art. Transmitted materials gain current tension through the lively dramaturgy of the storytellers, inviting multiple generations to listen together.
Intimate Theatre Atmosphere at Haidplatz
In the small event space of the Central Library, a special closeness between stage and audience is created. The acoustics of the voices, the imagination of the listeners, and every spontaneous audience reaction shape the experience. Imagination takes over the setting, while the acting skills of the storytellers bring the fairytales to life.
An Afternoon for Children, Families, and Adults
The 45-minute event is aimed at children, families, and adults. The concentrated format creates space for excitement, wonder, and quietly humorous moments. Those who wish to not just read fairytales but to experience them in their original power of the spoken word will find a special cultural appointment in Regensburg here.

Don't Tell Me Fairytales! – Or Should I? promises an atmospheric stage experience with free storytelling art, regional cultural history, and plenty of space for personal imagery.
