An evening full of music, hope, and northern German soul in the M*Halle

As in'n Häben brings Kay Pollak's touching story of Daniel Daréus to the stage – in a Low German version that closely intertwines heart and sense of home. The Fritz-Reuter-Bühne Schwerin presents the play to kick off its 100th anniversary in collaboration with the Singakademie Schwerin as a poetic, chorally charged theater encounter.

A piece about the power of a second chance

Daniel Daréus stands at the edge of exhaustion and simultaneously at the beginning of an inner return. From the celebrated conductor, he becomes a seeker who finds himself again in the village, in the church choir, and in music. The production focuses on the emotional tension between a global career and rural silence, between external brilliance and quiet self-reflection.

Choral singing as a dramatic resonance space

The connection of acting and choral singing is especially strong. When voices gather, rub against each other, and finally uplift, the theater atmosphere emerges that music theater and dramatic adaptation are equally appreciated for. The evening thrives on ensemble strength, fine transitions between play and song, and a dramaturgy that creates great impact from quiet moments.

Direction, language, and Low German sound

The Low German version by Harald Weiler and Cornelia Ehlers gives the material an additional warmth. Low German sounds here not folkloristic, but immediate, close, and human. This linguistic grounding makes the production a special stage experience for an audience that wants to experience theater as a living present, not as a distant museum of forms.

A strong ensemble for Schwerin

The connection of Fritz-Reuter-Bühne and Singakademie Schwerin lends the evening authority and cultural depth. The project stands for the tradition of the house as well as for openness to significant emotional material. Those seeking theatrical art with musical expressiveness will find here a performance that emphasizes community, joy of life, and inner transformation.

Conclusion: A theater evening that resonates

As in'n Häben promises a moving, musically driven stage event at the M*Halle Schwerin. The audience can look forward to an evening full of intensity, choral energy, and human warmth. Those who want to experience theater with feeling, linguistic finesse, and northern German character should see this performance live.
