DomStufen-Festspiele in Erfurt 2008
At the heart of the musical Martin L. stands the human being Martin Luther — with all his contradictions, doubts, and inner conflicts. Inspired by historical events, the musical traces key moments in Luther’s life, beginning with his time as a student in Erfurt. The musical genre, with its emotional immediacy, offers a powerful way to experience the depth and intensity of this story.
This subject, so closely tied to the history of Erfurt, is brought to life as a world premiere by the internationally renowned Norwegian writing duo Wiik/Kverndokk — created especially for the unique open-air setting of the Domstufen in Erfurt.
Premiere / July 5, 2008
