Fairy tale summer Lower Austria
The Lower Austria Fairy Tale Summer is an interactive traveling fairy tale theater for children from four years of age and all those people who love fairy tales . The theater takes place annually in July and August at Poysbrunn Castle ( Weinviertel ). The idea of the polydrama was adapted and simplified for children.
Origin and character
The association Märchensommer NÖ was founded in the spring of 2006 by Nina Blum , who has been director of the festival since then. Every year a children's fairy tale is written for this and the appropriate music is composed and written. The children can actively intervene in what is happening and must, together with the actors, contribute to solving a specific task. In addition, the audience is divided into several groups, which move parallel through the castle and thus experience different scenes and perspectives of a story. At the beginning and the end of the fairy tale, all viewers are together. However, this concept reaches its limits from 200 to 220 spectators, as the size of the rooms is a natural limitation.
In the beginning the fairy tale summer was a guest at Thürnthal Castle near Fels am Wagram . However, since 2008 the children's theater has been taking place in the 800-year-old Poysbrunn Palace in the Weinviertel . The castle with its old rooms, castle garden, cellar and attic acts as a stage. In spring 2008, at the same time as the change of lock, Nina Blum brought Helmut Kulhanek to the board of the association, who took over the production and commercial management of the association. Maria Mangott has been production manager at the fairy tale summer since 2015.
In December 2010, an unnamed street in the local area of Poysbrunn was named "Märchensommer Allee" by a resolution of the local council. The opening took place on July 18, 2011 on site.
In 2014, the Styrian fairy tale summer was initiated based on the same idea .
In June 2016, the Poysbrunn fairy tale story-telling space was opened based on an idea by artist and creative award winner Christine Naber from Bisamberg.
