Claire Beyer and students: Revolution in the Asperger Theater!

On June 19, 2025, a special theater project will take place in the region, including award-winning artist Claire Beyer. In collaboration with the Friedrich Hölderlin School from Asperg and a high school, the young talents are bringing a production to the stage. Claire Beyer is known for her innovative approaches to theater and is passionate about supporting young artists. The project promises to ignite students' creative abilities and give them an insight into the world of theater.

Dance plays a central role in this special project. The dancer and dance teacher Lilly Bendl supports the elementary school students in the dance scenes, which is intended to help the young performers develop their movement skills and expressiveness. Students from the theater group are also actively integrated into the project and contribute their part to the overall performance.

Background to the theater production

The event follows the tradition of Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin, who was born on March 20, 1770 in Lauffen am Neckar. As a child, Hölderlin experienced the early death of his father and stepfather, which influenced his artistic development. He attended a monastery school in his youth and began studying theology at the Tübingen Abbey in 1788, where he met important figures such as Hegel, Schelling and Isaac von Sinclair. These contacts not only influenced his life, but also his poetic work. Hölderlin grew up in a literary scene that was influenced by greats like Goethe and Schiller; the latter was an important mentor for the young poet.

From 1791, Hölderlin began to publish his first poems and worked as a court master in various cities. His work is still of great importance today and his works invite the audience to be taken into different emotional and social dimensions. This cultural exchange is central to the current project, which offers creative impulses for the participating students and familiarizes them with the themes of Hölderlin's work.

Overall, the project shows how important it is to involve young people in artistic processes at an early stage and to give them the opportunity to live out their creativity. The collaboration between schools and artists like Claire Beyer not only promotes individual talent, but also the sense of community and social skills of the participants, an aspect that is of great importance in today's society.
