St. Blasien Cathedral Festival

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The St. Blasien Cathedral Festival is a festival in the city of St. Blasien . They take place at intervals of several years.

The festival on the cathedral square of the St. Blasier domed church dates back to 1926. On two Sunday Sundays in 1926, everyone was performed on the cathedral stairs . For the millennium of St. Blasien on July 21, 1946, the project of the cathedral festival was taken up again with the festival Ein Gottestag by Bernhard Steinert . From 1952 to 1956 the city of St. Blasien tried to establish the cathedral festival permanently with plays of world literature and with celebrities from the stage and film, without success. It was not until 1993 that a new concept was tried out with amateur actors from St. Blasien and the surrounding area and with themes from the history of the monastery and town. The play from the cathedral by Bernhard Steinert thematized the representation of the St. Blasier story since the secularization . In 1997 Land am Dom was performed, also by Bernhard Steinert. In 2002, Licht vom Orient followed , the story of the church and city patron Blasius and the St. Blasier Jesuit Alfred Delp by Niklaus Stöckli. In 2007, Kloster in Flammen attempted a collage of time and literature in 17 scenes by Wolfgang Endres. This was followed in 2013, again by Wolfgang Endres as author and festival initiator, a collage Sturm am Dom with events between the cathedral fire in 1874 and the outbreak of the First World War.

The next cathedral festival will take place in 2018.
