WunderWelten im Augustinum: Japan - Live Report by and with Oliver Bolch

Description

Japan fascinates like hardly any other country with its contrasts: centuries-old traditions and cutting-edge technology coexist here. In his visually stunning multimedia show, Oliver Bolch takes the audience on a visual journey through this unique land. The journey begins in the vibrant metropolis of Tokyo, where futuristic skylines and lively street culture meet quiet temples and shrines. During cherry blossom season, Japan reveals its poetic side, while Mount Fuji majestically overlooks the landscape and Japanese macaques bathe in hot springs. In Kyoto, the cultural heart of the country, we experience magnificent temples, traditional festivals like the Aoi Matsuri, and deeply rooted rituals. In Nara and on Miyajima, we encounter Japan's oldest sanctuaries. A behind-the-scenes look at sumo wrestling—closely linked to Japanese tradition—is also part of this special journey. But Japan is not only about culture: in the south, the route leads through ancient rainforests on Yakushima, while in the north, wintery Hokkaido awaits us with snow-covered volcanic landscapes, drift ice, and a fascinating wildlife—from giant sea eagles to mandarin cranes and singing swans. An impressive journey between silence and dynamism, nature and culture—and into the special magic of Japan.
