The meaning of the chestnuts

the chestnut, especially the chestnut, has a long history and still plays an important role in nature today. It belongs to the genus Castanea, which belongs to the family of beech plants. It shows itself as a dry -tolerant tree species that requires a lot of sun and space and also delivers high -quality wood and edible fruits. For a long time, food chestnuts were considered the "bread of the poor man" in southern Europe and are also increasingly paying attention in the modern world, especially in the context of afforestation and forest conversion.

Ulrich Pietzarka, forest botanist and curator of the forest botanical garden in Tharandt, emphasizes that the eating chestnut is a promising tree species of the future due to its robust nature and the many advantages it offers. The diversity of the genus is represented with a special American chestnut in the garden, which has become rare in North America. This tree has an impressive trunk diameter of 1.50 meters and stands for the traditional values ​​and the cultural history of chestnut, which goes back to antiquity.

Overall, the staging in the Casamax Theater not only illustrates the importance of friendship between the characters, but also the essential role of nature and trees that are indispensable for our environment and for future generations. The commitment to environmental protection is conveyed here by a creative and appealing form and shows how art and consciousness can go hand in hand.
