Can you fit a thousand years of history in an insta description? We could dare but let us put it this way. Ever since we mentioned the concept of travelling actor troupes in our festival stream talks it sticked and refused to disappear. The theme felt oddly natural but yet kind of mysterious. And in fact it turns out to be an everlasting story of endless untold stories as well as infenite depth if you just seriously start thinking about it. What if we would tell you that strolling groups of actors vagabonding through all kinds lands, countries and climates shaped actively and practically exclusively the practise of theater that we know of today. When there was nothing but war, plagues, destruction, fanatism, narrow-mindedness and desperate lack of knowledge and culture there was always somewhere a troupe of wellminded, thinking people with a strive to develope and evolve. Despite the fear, risk and uncertainty. Neither bodily exertions nor malicious slanders, not borders or any other threats could lessen their will for truthseeking through performing art expression. There is something deeply philosophical about that way of life, education and training. Especially coz its an antisolitary practise. Living and working as a real collective. Not just in words but also in actions. Not for nothing dozens of generations of performers went through this most beautiful and exciting school of life. So did Shakespeare, so did Hamlet. In ideal cases this people saved lifes or shaped biographies, maybe even solved crimes. Many of these people mastered far more than one profession. This holy practise is realer than any phony pilgrimage and must not die! This should be part of every actors training just how it used to be. Its worth living for. Long live the vagabonding actors troupe on their way to the volcano's top, researching the mysteries of human ways! #strollingactors #travellingtheatertroupe #travellingtheatregroup #vagabondingactors #strollingtheater #wanderndetheater #wanderbuehne #stegreiftheater #commediadellarte #wanderschauspieler #travellingtheatrecompany #umherziehendeschauspieltruppe #schooloflife #lebensweg #bretterdiedieweltbedeuten #agontheaterberlin (hier: On The Road) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBg4s9CpJf2/?igshid=1lf9ky775wt23
