a literary background
The piece "Ut de Franzosentid" is not only a performance, but also part of a greater cultural idea. It is reminiscent of the time of the French occupation and the associated cultural policy. This was often in the focus of German authorities who observed French influence in order to protect their own cultural identity, such as in the analysis on 1914-1930-RLP. At that time, cultural institutions, such as the city theater in Mainz, were supported to counteract French influence and to promote their own culture.
This is how the circle closes: The Reuter Festival is not only a glamorous event, they are also a lively expression of history and culture that shape Stavenhagen. Even in the course of the upcoming events, one can hope for further exciting contributions that are both informative and entertaining. It remains to be seen how the festival will develop in the coming years, especially in view of the 65-year tradition that needs to be celebrated.
