Suspicion of murder in the event hotel: theater group inspires despite shock!
The theater group "Hahn im Korb" from Seehausen has currently organized a pre -performance of a new work in the event hotel, which is also of interest to the Leipzig region. The start of the rehearsal was already in March and the group is planning a total of two performances on the weekend. A special highlight was the dress rehearsal, which took place on Thursday and officially counts as one of the regular performances. In this dress rehearsal, some spectators who could not buy tickets for the regular performances on Friday or Saturday to get a first impression. Christiane König commented enthusiastically about the audience present, whose reactions the team also motivated.
In the theater world, the first performance of a work with an audience before the official premiere is referred to as a preliminary performance or preliminary premiere. These are essential in the rehearsal process and offer the actors valuable experiences. In addition to main samples, the preliminary performances also include general rehearsals that take place with the audience as in the current case. Sneak previews that are used for cinema films to test the reactions of the audience are a specific type of forward.
The importance of the preliminary performances
Pre -performances have a long tradition that goes back to the 19th century. At that time, theater productions began to carry out these performances to test their works and, if necessary, adapt them. For example, the Woltersdorff Theater in Berlin has organized Viennese operettas in advance since 1865. In the American theater landscape, too, it was common on Broadway until the 1970s to organize previews that often led to the optimization of pieces. Producers like Irving Thalberg recognized the value of these events and adapted films based on the public reactions.
Especially in today's world, preliminary performances can be crucial for the success of a piece. They enable direct feedback and help to refine the work before the official premiere. In this context, the role of the audience should not be underestimated; Your opinions and emotions during the performances can significantly influence the artistic process.
The theater group "Hahn im Korb" has already integrated a step into this traditional approach by incorporating the reactions of the audience into the creative process. Such initiatives not only enliven the local cultural scene, but also contribute to strengthening the sense of community in the region.
