Parchim celebrates 800 years with a magical Christmas fairy tale for the family!
A very special festival is celebrated in Parchim: the town's 800th anniversary is celebrated with the traditional Christmas fairy tale, which this year is directed by Thomas Ott-Albrecht. This production not only has a long tradition, but is also very popular with young and old, as mecklenburgisches-staatstheater.de reports.
The main characters are King Hellmuth von Pütterich, played by Vincent Hoff, Princess Charlotte (Elisabeth Nekola), maid Hermine (Lena Blauth), Otto (Anton Ohmstede) and King Drosselbart (Bastian J. Simon). The latter has found his home in Parchim for two years and his presence brings a breath of fresh air into the production. Actors like Simon also take on modifications and have to prepare intensively for the processes in order to bring the atmosphere of the fairy tale to life.
A piece full of challenges
What makes it particularly exciting is the challenge of depicting the forced marriage, which is at the center of the fairy tale, in a child-friendly way. Bastian J. Simon has a special connection to fairy tales because he remembers his grandmother's Brothers Grimm fairy tale book and the children's series "Simsalagrimm". The production includes a total of 46 performances at the Kulturmühle between November and December, and Simon emphasizes how much he values the Christmas fairytale season and the joy of children.
The production aims to create a positive experience for the entire family. The stage and costumes were also designed by Michael Haufe, who was already responsible for other children's productions. After all, the Christmas fairy tale is an integral part of the children's and youth theater program and contributes significantly to the cultural diversity of the region.
Important offers for teachers and students
Not only art is very important in Parchim, education is also very important. In the digital age, Google Classroom is enjoying great popularity, a free platform that greatly simplifies the exchange between teachers and students. Teachers can easily post assignments for students to complete, grade, and ultimately set grades without having to print a single printout. This development is explained in a guide on gcfglobal.org.
Google Classroom is easy to use and also allows communication between teachers, students and parents via email. As teachers organize their courses, they can also use Google Docs and other tools to design their lessons. Teachers can create a class in just a few steps and adjust security settings so only appropriate people can join the class.
These modern teaching methods contribute to Parchim being well positioned not only culturally but also educationally.
Streaming and its importance
At a time when digital solutions are finding their way into all areas of life, the area of streaming cannot be missed. Netflix has revolutionized media consumption and is becoming increasingly popular. Whether via smart TVs or mobile devices, viewers can now access their favorite films and series at any time. A helpful guide on how to use Netflix on different devices can be found at help.netflix.com.
The flexibility to stream films and series easily is reflected in various usage options, whether via smartphone, tablet or home streaming box. With just a few clicks, the desired content is immediately on the screen and the historical heritage and modern developments in Parchim form a harmonious mix that gives space to both the levels of art and education.
