Low German Rock meets Summer Air: Ruckus in the Hen House conquers Schwerin

On June 18, 2026, the Open-Air Museum Schwerin-Mueß transforms into a stage for the Low German rock revue Ruckus in the Hen House by author and director Sandra Keck. Between half-timbered houses and orchards, a fast-paced musical theater unfolds with cult hits, Low German lyrics, and plenty of humor – a vibrant concert experience outdoors.

Sound between Village Idyl and Rock Energy

The revue mixes global hits from ABBA to the Beatles with lively Low German lyrics. In a play of groove, choral passages, and pointed orchestration, a pulsating sound carpet emerges that carries the live atmosphere. Hard rock instead of Mozart in the barn – this rebellious slogan becomes a stage performance that captivates the audience.

Stage Performance like a Sitcom – Fast, Witty, Musical

Characters like the quick-witted farmer Alma, a Polish farmhand, three rebellious pigs, and a cheerleader number with farmer's daughter Anja drive the plot forward. In rapid synchronization of light, timing, and ensemble play, the direction unfolds a playful flow that merges theater and concert.

Audience Mood: Open-Air Feeling in Museum Ambiance

Against the backdrop of historic hall houses and the nearby lake breeze, an immediate concert experience arises: clear acoustics, summer light, quick changes – all tuned for dynamics. The audience's mood swings between laughter, humming along, and applause cascades.

Classification and Quality Seal

The production is part of the Schwerin Theater Summer/Castle Festival program of the Mecklenburg State Theater. The Fritz-Reuter Stage stands for top-class musical theater in Low German; the setting of the Open-Air Museum Schwerin-Mueß scores with strong acoustics and good accessibility.
