Horse Theater 2024 "The Gods of Rügen"
Multimedia live performance with horses

When the white horse steps over the spears, it proclaims the will of Svantevit, as reported by a Danish chronicler for the main god of the Rügan people.

The island inhabitants revered a total of six gods, from whom people sought protection for the island, the well-being of their families, safe travels, and much more. Since the heavenly beings did not speak to humans, sacred horses were used to convey the divine thoughts. The gods disappeared, but the people's search for help in their lives remained. The boundaries between past and present merge in light and music. Riding on the backs of impressive horses, as mediators between worlds, the gods return to their places of power on present-day Rügen. We invite the audience to share in this experience at the beautiful Feldsteinhalle of the Horse Theater.
