Ahaus Castle

As if the stars had fallen from the sky, a boundless sea of lights spreads out before your eyes. With over 3000 candles and 300 old travel trunks, Theatre Anu creates a unique, dreamlike world. Step into an endless maze of lights and find your way. In the midst of the sea of lights you will find quiet islands full of poetry. Figures who captivate you with short, touching stories. Stories full of hope and longing that tell of life's great journey.

This production turns the labyrinth into a symbol of life's journey. People who enter the labyrinth reach the centre, the middle, themselves. The journey of life is reflected in the hero's journey - the basis of many epics and fantastic stories. In the atmosphere of thousands of candles, thinking quickly turns into a reverie of poetic images. Thinking theatre like a poem, as a condensation into beauty - this is the motto of the popular theatre Anu.

Not pain and conflict as in drama are the focus of his poetic understanding of theatre, but reconciliation, hope, and the kindling of longing, combined with a smile on the faces of the visitors.

The traditional event Fanfaren, Flammen, Feuerwerk (fanfares, flames, fireworks) offers a flame spectacle and fireworks, music highlights, shows and shopping.

Sunday starts with a book market in the Ahaus city centre from 1.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. All bookworms and book lovers will get their money's worth here. At the same time, the shops in the city centre open their doors.

As soon as dusk falls, the Ahauser Schloss shines in soft hues. The fanfares sound and attract hundreds of visitors to Sümmermannplatz, who eagerly await the grand finale of the day. The grand firework display, which crowns the day by illuminating the dark evening sky in many different facets.
