Love in Motion: A Poetic Walk Through Riddagshausen
On Sunday, September 27, 2026, the Raabe House: Literature Center Braunschweig invites you to a special stage experience in the open air. The musical-lyric walk From Head to Toe on Love... and so on – On Cheering and Moaning in Matters of Love combines literature, music, and movement into a sensual journey through the monastery garden of Riddagshausen.
When Love Matters Meet Language and Sound
The duo Susanne Maierhöfer and Dorothee Bärmann takes the audience on a path through the diverse tones of love. Cheers and laments, longing and doubt, closeness and loss meet in texts and musical moments. The dramaturgy does not follow a rigid stage arrangement but develops step by step in dialogue with the historical location.
The Monastery Garden as an Open Stage
The portal of the Riddagshausen monastery church serves as the starting point for a theater and literature experience outside the classic audience space. Historical architecture, garden paths, and the tranquil atmosphere of the monastery garden create a stage setting that constantly changes during the walk. The surroundings become part of the production and give the texts a special spatial depth.
Between Joy, Thoughtfulness, and Musical Precision
The event focuses on love as a cultural and human fundamental theme. Acting, lyrical language, and music blend into a format that takes subtle nuances as seriously as humorous breaks. It is precisely this mix of literary reflection and immediate proximity to the audience that makes the walk an extraordinary stage experience in Braunschweig.
A Short Cultural Moment with Sustainable Resonance
The approximately 30-minute event is suitable for all who wish to experience literature not only while sitting but in movement and a special theater atmosphere. Admission is free, and according to the provided event information, registration is not required. Weather-appropriate clothing is recommended for the walk.
Conclusion: Love is Best Experienced Live
From Head to Toe on Love... and so on promises a poetic cultural walk full of wit, music, and human nuances. Those who want to experience literature, stage art, and historical locations together will discover an unusual and free event format in the monastery garden of Riddagshausen. This stage experience invites you to consider love with your head, heart, and open senses.
