The piece by Christiane Remmert and Jojo Ludwig is called "Manure, Kneipp, and the Universe," because it deals with manure, with Kneipp, and with the universe. But it is also about much more; it is a mixture of acting, puppet theater, satire, and revue with many world-moving songs. For example, one can hear the long-lost "Ode to the Fair Lady Hildegard" by the medieval bard Walther von der Vogelweide, presented live by him personally and exclusively in this production. The theatrical piece originated from an impressive work by the Eiserfeyer artist Peter Ratz. Ratz constructed a nearly 17-meter-long rocket from a silo tank, a small car, a caravan trailer, and various other ingredients, which he calls the "Manure Rocket." This art object has been built for the stage at "theater 1" to a scale of 1:24, and it spins a quirky story around it: With the hitherto unused rocket fuel manure, a rocket can travel at faster-than-light speed and thus overtake the light beams sent from Earth. This makes it possible to observe events that have since passed on Earth. The two astronauts Zilli Eschbach and Hauke Lütjensteen use this fuel in their self-built rocket and can not only see what happened on Earth long ago during their journey into space, but also photograph these visions with the help of Jules Verne's old wooden camera, retrieve them from the device, and even bring them to life. Unfortunately only in two dimensions, but still. Among other things, episodes from the life of Hildegard of Bingen and Sebastian Kneipp become visible. Astonishing facts emerge, such as Hildegard's near-career as a shot putter or Kneipp's passion for creating extensive earthen caves. Over-the-counter, this production administers a panacea that helps against all sorts of ailments, viruses, ticks, bacteria, mites, lethargy, hair loss, cavities, and other unwanted life circumstances: laughter.
