A poetic theater parcours in the Brecht House Augsburg
With Fish Fasch, the birthplace of Bertolt Brecht opens up as a walkable stage: a station theater for children from 8 years old and adults that intertwines literature, play, and museum space into a sensory stage experience. On October 11, 2026, at 3:00 PM, the parcours will take place through the Brecht House in Augsburg, transforming the historic venue into a lively resonance space for Brecht's children's poems, songs, and images of the world and contradiction.
Brecht's poetry becomes space, voice, and movement
The evening focuses on closeness instead of distance. Karla Andrä sings, speaks, and recites, while Barbara Weigel's animated video sculptures bring individual objects from the exhibition to life. This creates a staging in which acting and visual sound poetry intertwine. The museum is not only observed but traversed, eavesdropped on, and experienced anew.
A house that breathes history
The Brecht House at Auf dem Rain 7 is more than a place of remembrance. It is the birthplace of the most significant German-speaking playwright of the 20th century and simultaneously a small, concentrated venue for the power of epic theater. This historical density gives the theater parcours a special theatrical atmosphere: close, precise, and carried by silent intensity.
Direction with a sense for young and adult audiences
The dramaturgy follows the principle of discovery. Instead of a classical frontal situation, a parcours unfolds through different rooms where Brecht's language connects with the place. For families, this results in an accessible, clever, and at the same time poetic cultural experience that allows children to approach Brecht playfully and surprises adults with the liveliness of his texts.
This is what visitors can expect
Those who visit Fish Fasch will experience an afternoon between theater, literature, and exhibition. The performance is tailored to young ears as well as to culture-interested adults. In the end, the impression remains of a fine, lovingly crafted theater encounter that does not explain Brecht's work but makes it tangible. Anyone looking for sensory station theater in a special setting should experience this live.
