Ruckus, Sound, and Low German: A Summer Evening with the Fritz-Reuter-Stage
When the Freilichtmuseum Schwerin-Mueß becomes a stage, Low German theater tradition meets a rock revue with wit, tempo, and summer air. Ruckus in the Henhouse brings well-known pop and rock melodies in Low German version to the open-air stage and promises a stage experience between village idyll, sitcom, and musical awakening. The performance starts on June 18, 2026, at 6:00 PM in front of the farmhouse Hufe 1. ([schwerin.de](https://www.schwerin.de/kultur-tourismus/event/krawall-inn-haeuhnerstall/?utm_source=openai))
A Rock Revue with a Sharp Tongue and Big Heart
The production tells of a crazy farm in Wittenförden, where cows, pigs, farmhands, and farmers encounter each other with their conflicts, longings, and small uprisings. From the pen of Sandra Keck, a turbulent revue emerges, combining classic theater atmosphere with the directness of a musical comic. The direction is also by Sandra Keck; the set design and dramaturgy focus on lightness, clear character portrayal, and visible joy in pointed play.

Low German as a Stage for Humor and Identity
The Fritz-Reuter-Stage presents cheerful Low German pieces in summer and stands as the only professional Low German ensemble of its kind in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern for a lived theater tradition with regional depth. Especially in an open-air museum, this production unfolds a special effect: historical ambiance, open spaces, vibrant language, and an audience that not only sees the evening but feels it physically. Exactly therein lies the strength of this performance: it is both a home evening, musical theater, and a winking cultural observation.
