Franui live in Bad Hersfeld

Experience Franui live on July 6th

Franui will perform at the Bad Hersfeld Festival on July 6, 2026. The ensemble is known for its unique blend of classical music, physical theatre, and acrobatics. Originating from Belgium, Franui’s performances typically deconstruct classical pieces – often by composers like Schubert or Bach – and reimagine them through a highly visual and dynamic lens. Their work frequently involves the musicians interacting physically with the music stands and instruments themselves, blurring the lines between performer and performance object.

The Bad Hersfeld Festival is a long-standing open-air theatre festival held annually in the ruins of Bad Hersfeld Abbey. Founded in 1954, it initially focused on staging works by William Shakespeare but has since broadened its repertoire to include operas, musicals, and other theatrical productions. The festival utilizes the historic abbey ruins as its stage, creating a distinctive atmospheric setting for performances. It’s recognized as one of the largest open-air theatre festivals in Germany, attracting audiences from across the country and internationally. The choice of venue contributes significantly to the festival’s appeal, offering a unique cultural experience within a historically significant location.
