"Woyzeck" as an open-air performance in Putlitz
The Prignitz-Sommer is a series of concerts, theatre performances, open studios, and the "Quadrium" format running over several weeks in the Prignitz district. Initiated and supported by the Brandenburg Ministry of Science, Research and Culture, as well as by Sparkasse Prignitz, the Prignitz-Sommer connects the cultural venues of thinly populated northwestern Brandenburg — a landscape between the Elbe and the Mecklenburg Lake District, where cultural events build bridges between villages and small towns.
Ton und Kirschen is one of Germany's most reputable wandering theatre ensembles, based in Glindow in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district. For decades, the group has travelled throughout Germany and Europe with its productions and is known for its visually powerful, physically expressive style that combines medieval theatre tradition with contemporary stage direction.
"Woyzeck" — Georg Büchner's fragment about the soldier Woyzeck, whose world of humiliation, jealousy, and delusion culminates in the murder of his lover Marie — is one of the most profound plays in German literature. As an open-air performance by a wandering theatre like Ton und Kirschen, it becomes a physical, almost archaic experience that integrates the nature of the Putlitz summer evening into the production.
Putlitz is a small town in Prignitz, nestled in a landscape of forests and small rivers, on the edge of the Mecklenburg Lake District. For an open-air theatre of this quality, the format is a real event: those who want to get to know Brandenburg beyond castles and folk festivals will find a different, quiet, and literary side of the state here.
"Woyzeck" — Büchner's fragment staged by the wandering theatre Ton und Kirschen — will be performed as an open-air production in Putlitz on Friday, August 7, 2026, and Saturday, August 8, 2026, each starting at 8:00 PM. The organiser is Prignitz-Sommer, the annual cultural and art festival series of northwestern Brandenburg. Ton und Kirschen, one of Germany's most renowned wandering theatre ensembles based in Glindow, uses its physically expressive style to bring the play to a venue that integrates the production with the nature of the Putlitz summer evening. Detailed programme information (cast, exact venue, ticket prices) will be communicated via the festival website prignitzsommer.de.
