The Gießen city theater recently celebrated its summer stage with a crowning glory, which despite the mixed weather did not lose momentum and enthusiasm. The final evening, shaped by musical performances and the determination of a committed community, shows how culture can also bloom in adverse conditions.

art and community in the rain

On the eve of the great review, Levent Kelleli and the rapper Aizae performed at the "Open Mic". Despite the light rain, over 40 enthusiastic spectators came to the invitation. Kelleli explained that the evening was deliberately designed for a broader public: "This is an event for between and outside," he said when the first talents stepped onto the stage. The mixture of singing and piano compositions brought an inspiring atmosphere in the pouring rain.

The end of the season as a community experience

The following Saturday the big end of the season with the revue -like show "Wonder is always available" took place. Under the direction of Christian Keul, the actors offered a varied program of well -known hits and musical songs, which immediately caused enthusiasm. Despite the rainy weather, the forecourt of the theater filled and turned into a place of joy where the audience applauded courageously and ignored the rain with a positive look.

an open offer for everyone

director Simone Sterr was delighted with the great response of the summer stage. "On average, around 280 people came every evening," she said proudly. The idea of granting free access to every visitor and only demanding a voluntary donation was a conscious step to address people who would normally come to the theater. "This is a great success that makes us very happy," she added. The decision to choose the forecourt of the city theater as an event location turned out to be extremely positive because he attracted numerous people.

sustainability of the series of events

Many visitors expressed the desire to continue this format in the future. However, Simone Sterr pointed out that the upcoming season has already been set. When asked whether there could be a repetition of the summer stage, she promised: "It will definitely not be the last summer stage." An evaluation of the previous experience will show how this popular format can develop.

a big thank you

At the end of the season, Sterr thanked all contributors both in front of and behind the scenes. Kerstin Weiß, who was largely responsible for organizing the summer stage, was honored with the title "Summer Girl 2024". The artistic exchange and the openness to new things were the central elements of this varied playing time, which passes into the theater holidays. With the new theater festival on September 8th, the next season will be heralded with fresh vigor.

The Gießen City Theater has once again proven that culture can shine even under difficult conditions and that the community is crucial for surviving challenges such as the weather. The highlight of the summer stage summarizes the idea perfectly: Together and firmly determined not to stimulate the threat of joy in art.
