The "mill spirits" have tapered again this year and not only convince with experienced actors, but also with new talents. Chair Sarah Stabel emphasizes that numerous young players were included in the group. Particular attention is paid to Elias Reichert, who plays with the adults for the first time. "I always had a great admiration for the pieces and couldn't resist when I was asked to join me," he says enthusiastically. It seems that the group is a place of creativity and growing for young talents who can discover their passion for theater here.

director Markus Karger, who has been working with the "mill spirits" for 15 years, explains that a trusting cooperation between directors and actors is fundamental. "You have to be able to rely on each other, this not only promotes cohesion, but also the quality of the performances," says Karger. He not only left his tracks in Merkenfritz, but also worked with other groups and left a lasting influence in the theater landscape.

A unique selling point of the "mill spirits" is their open actor model. Unlike many groups that have strict selection processes for roles, everyone interested takes a role here. "This means that the pieces can only be searched for when all actors are certain, but it promotes a wide range of characters and talents," explains Stabel. So it happens that the current line -up is between 19 and 80 years old and also includes people with disabilities and queer participants, which promotes diversity and sense of community.

The ensemble members strive to continuously develop. Karger is convinced that every new production is a challenge and does not allow routine to arise. "It's like in a good relationship. You use your experiences to always find new ways," he says with a smile.

The performances of "A village stands head" take place on November 9th, 15th and 16th in the village community center of Merkenfritz. At 7:30 p.m. on the first and last days and already at 6:00 p.m. on November 15th. The pre -sale is running and the tickets are available at a price of ten euros.

The "mill spirits" not only offer a successful performance with their new piece, but also realize a platform for community, creativity and the joint experience of theater. A special experience that you shouldn't miss.
