Circle of Nature in the Red Hall: Peter Trabner brings Hölderlin to Braunschweig

An evening between Empedocles, olive tree, and present

With Circle of Nature, Peter Trabner presents an unusual theater experience on September 24, 2026, in the Red Hall at the Castle in Braunschweig: free, lively, direct, and very close to the questions of our time. The play connects Friedrich Hölderlin's drama fragment The Death of Empedocles with improvisation, everyday language, and an olive tree as a stage partner. Admission is free.

An actor, a text fragment, an open form

Peter Trabner, known from film and television, condenses classical subjects into a performative stage form that lives from immediacy. The production relies on movement, voice, presence, and friction rather than smooth decoration. The openness of this theater work gives the evening its tension: each performance has its own temperature, and every audience reaction can color the course.

Theater atmosphere with nature questions and contemporary relevance

At the center are questions about the relationship between humans and nature, about responsibility and the consequences of actions. This makes Circle of Nature more than a literary approach: it is a stage experience with ecological resonance space that poetically and politically charges the evening. Early descriptions and guest performance indications highlight the powerful impact, the freedom of improvisation, and the sustainable, reduced mode of play.

The Red Hall as a suitable venue

The Red Hall in the Castle is located on the third floor of the north wing at Schlossplatz 1 and is wheelchair accessible. For arrival, the nearby stops Rathaus and Schloss as well as the surrounding parking garages Schloss-Arkaden, Wilhelmstraße, Schlosscarree, and Magni are recommended. Thus, the space provides an urban framework suitable for concentrated theater and post-discussion alike.

Circle of Nature promises a concentrated, resonant stage experience with discussion potential. Those who experience Peter Trabner's work live encounter theater that does not explain but ignites.
