Description

Grimm's fairy tales retold in dialect. Fairy tales originated from folk tradition, and Markus Weber has brought them back there and translated Grimm's fairy tales into the Kurpfälzisch dialect. And not only that, he has also geographically located them on the Bergstraße. Thus, the boundaries between stories and history blur in a wondrous way:
Snow White and Rose Red are based in Nächstenbach, Rumpelstiltskin lives behind a rock door on the old castle road, the two little ones of Snow White live behind the seven mountain images in Oberflockenbach, the Gaaß and her children are based in the Bennwäldern above the North City, and the Sleeping Beauty castle still stands sleepy at the top of Leutershausen today. Enjoy a relaxed evening without the hustle and bustle of the pre-Christmas season with an exquisite menu featuring Grimm's fairy tales, read in the Kurpfälzisch dialect by Dr. Markus Weber in the cozy atmosphere of the Rampenlicht restaurant in the casino. The press writes: "The content processing of the fairy tales is one thing, but Weber's personality is another. He stages the stories quite literally. Alters his voice, shapes sounds like 'schnurr, schnurr, schnurr' or emphasizes with expressive facial expressions and gestures. Everything becomes vividly alive, even though Weber is sitting at the table reading. Simply wonderful!" (RNZ 06.10.2022) The fairy tale menu Sparkling wine reception "Snow White and Rose Red"
