from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nibelungen Festival Worms (common spelling: Nibelungen Festival ) is a theater festival that has been held every year since its re-establishment in 2002, mostly in July or August as part of the Rhineland-Palatinate cultural summer . The place of performance is an open-air stage in front of the Worms Cathedral . From 2003 until the production in 2014, Dieter Wedel was the artistic director of the festival . Since 2015, producer Nico Hofmann has been director of the Nibelungen Festival.

history

Founded during the Third Reich in 1937, the program of the Nibelungen Festival, which was held until 1939, only featured Hebbel's three-part drama " The Nibelungs " from 1861. An attempt to restart the festival in 1956 was unsuccessful.

In 2002 there was the first new staging of the Nibelungen Festival to re-establish Worms as a festival city. Theater and film greats such as Dieter Wedel , Mario Adorf and Maria Schrader , among others , were hired to attract attention nationwide. In the version by Moritz Rinke, the first festival took place at the south portal of the Worms Cathedral. In the summer of 2010, for financial reasons, an improvised version of the festival “Devil, God and Emperor - Improvisations about a Time in which the Nibelungenlied was created” was played on the place of the partnership and the ambience near the imperial cathedral was included. In 2011, when the Nibelungen Festival celebrated its 10th anniversary, there was another big performance in front of the Worms Imperial Cathedral in the open air. It was the first time that the artistic director and director moved away from the original material of the Nibelungs. The story of Joseph Suss Oppenheimer, called Jud Suss, was staged .

Since 2018, the city give Worms and the Nibelungen Festival named after Mario Adorf Mario Adorf-Prize . It is awarded to actors, stage designers, directors or other members of the Nibelungen Festival who distinguish themselves through exceptional artistic performance. Adorf himself belongs to the board of trustees of the festival and sits on the jury. Among other things, he initiated the festival in 2002 and was an actor himself in 2002 and 2003. The prize is a glass stele with a dragon motif by the illustrator Hendrik Dorgathen and is endowed with 10,000 euros.

Productions

The Rinke production

Puls, Krol, Lindow (2004)

The first two performances in 2002 and 2003 were performed by Dieter Wedel based on the version by Moritz Rinke . Rinke was commissioned by the city of Worms to dramatize the Hebbel piece and created a reinterpretation without actually reinterpreting. Rinkes and his clients' reasoning was as follows: He avoided patriotism and weakened the fateful sense of honor in order to avoid the bitter aftertaste of the Germanic myth abused by the National Socialists. One of his goals was to put aside the “National Socialist prejudice against the Nibelungen saga”.

Among other things, the final scene in which Hildebrand says:

“Men never stood
Together like the Nibelungs here
And whatever they may have committed
You did well with this courage
And this loyalty, which she honors twice. "

It was criticized that Rinke simply omitted the blind allegiance and exaggerated sense of honor, as they were known from the original and from other versions, thus not clearly recognizing the inevitable consequences as such and that the piece in this form differs from the intentions of the poet differs.

Dieter Wedel worked closely with Rinke in 2002. The version was seen by over 50,000 free play guests. On August 17th, the day of the theater premiere, 3sat broadcast the live-on-tape recording in full with a delay of approx. 30 minutes . An edited TV version was shown on September 29, 2002 on ZDF .

The Hebbel production

In 2004 and 2005, Friedrich Hebbel's production from 1861 was performed. Hebbel brought the 2379 four-line Aventiures to 5456 lines of dialogue. The fabric was gathered by the drama form. Some scenes and details are therefore only available in abbreviated form. Under the direction of Karin Beier , the roles of the two queens Brunhild and Kriemhild have now been highlighted. They have been portrayed as victims of male-dominated politics.

New Rinke production

From 2006 to 2008 a new version of the Nibelung saga, again written by Moritz Rinke, was shown. However, the piece was now performed in two parts. In 2006 "Siegfried's Women" were portrayed. The play ended with Siegfried's death. In the following year 2007 the audience could experience "The last days of Burgundy". In 2008 a synopsis of both parts followed, alternating daily. Once again, Dieter Wedel directed it every year.

John von Düffel's comedy

In 2009, a comedic adaptation of the Nibelungen material was given for the first time , "The Life of Siegfried" by John von Düffel . Directed by Gil Mehmert . For the second time after 2002, 3sat broadcast the premiere on television with a delay of around 30 minutes using the live-on-tape method.
