Chillingly beautiful executioner's tour: When Amberg's alleys become the stage

An evening that gets under your skin: The scenic executioner's tour takes you into Amberg's dark legends. The starting point is the Air Museum – from here the story of love and sorrow begins. The executioner leads, the maid whispers of escape and fate. A stage experience in the urban space, close to the theatrical atmosphere of the old town.

Light, stone, breath – the city as a backdrop

Between corner lights and cobblestones, a dense staging emerges. Historical walls become the backdrop, courtyards the off-stage, alleys the proscenium. The dramaturgy uses pathways like acts, and the acoustics of the courtyards carry the voices of the performers. Each stop feels like a tableau vivant: covered silhouettes, quiet steps, tense silence – and suddenly a call that slices through the night.

Narrative art with bite: Acting and scenic guidance

The tour combines the art of acting with the history of the city. Pointed monologues of the executioner contrast with the perspective of the maid, creating a multifaceted character portrayal. Directorial thought and rhythm are geared towards movement: short scenes, clear transitions, precise placements in space – keeping the audience's reaction attentive and close to the action.

History within reach: Facts, legends, local color

Temporal color and documented backgrounds blend into a captivating narrative space. Dates and anecdotes about Amberg's legal history, craftsmanship, and daily rituals become sensually tangible. The costuming relies on robust materials and subdued colors, while the light moods of the lanterns model faces as on a chamber stage.
