Worms expected: Nibelungen Festival 2025 with dragons and new heroes!

The Worms Nibelungenfest games 2025 take up speed! On Wednesday evening, the official starting signal for the highly expected new piece “See from Ash” was given. The creative minds behind this masterpiece are the celebrated author Roland Schimmelpfennig and the innovative director Mina Salehpour, both of whom are part of the Worms Festival community for the first time. Director Nico Hofmann beams with pride because he brought one of the most played authors of the German theater landscape to Worms.

Schimmelpfennig himself describes his work as a comprehensive narrative of the entire Nibelung saga, which brings the legendary figures such as Siegfried, Hagen von Tronje, Gunther and the queens on stage. "Lake from ash" will captivate the spectators with an opulent staging that combines both classic and modern elements. And the best? For the first time, a dragon will also be seen in Worms! Mina Salehpour can hardly wait to bring this iconic figure alive, and promises a visual spectacle that is reminiscent of the adventures of the Power Rangers.
