This is a place where everything takes infinitely long, it is infinitely quiet, a place where mystery is strong. In this enchanted glade, the ten symphonies of Anton Bruckner resonate 666 times longer. A pause of one sole minute in Bruckner's music becomes a silence of eleven hours and six minutes. The rustling of the leaves, birdsong, the creaking of trees and the horns of distant ships are the real sound of Bruckner, namely the sound for him. An all-pervading mystery from 13 February till 10 November 2024.

In this the 30th year of theaterSPECTACEL Wilhering, which also coincides with the first Upper Austrian KulturEXPO Anton Bruckner 2024, once again the programme boasts a world premiere. The commissioned work was initiated by the artistic director of the Bruckner Year, Norbert Trawöger, and the composer, Rudolf Jungwirth. Karin Peschka, author and winner of the Upper Austrian Provincial Culture Prize for Literature, is writing the play, while the director of theaterSPECTACEL, Joachim Rathke, will be directing the production.
About the play
Anton Bruckner, a composer known for his scurrility, spent several summer retreats at Wilhering Abbey where he encountered a monkey that was "imprisoned" in the Palm House. The monkey's name has not been passed on but the animal itsefl does actually make an appearance in one of Bruckner's symphonies. I wonder what the two had to say to each other...?
The auuthor, Karin Peschka, the composer, Rudolf Jungwirth, and the director, Joachim Rathke, have taken this curious episode as an opportunity to delve into the rich inner world of this borderline ingenious composer who was bursting with contradictions. Just like in the journey through time "MONKS" (2022), the audience will be part of a journey that will take them from the barn to the Palm House and into the church. "If you think you would enjoy an unusual, cheekily narrated journey through the wonderfully crazy dreams of Bruckner, you've come to the right place," the director, Joachim Rathke, comments.
With: Julia Frisch, Thomas Kasten, Henry Mason, Daniel Morales Perez, Simone Neumayr, Felix Rank, Matthäus Schmidlechner, Dörnbacher Chorgemeinschaft and many others.
