RolliBock - the wrath of nature? The open-air play Fiesch - Fieschertal 2024

Culture, Theater
RolliBock open-air play

The Valais director Willy-Franz Kurth ventures a modern interpretation of one of the oldest legends in Valais: an open-air production of the story of the RolliBock. He transports the myth into the tangible future. It shows the absurdity of humanity and provides food for thought - both ethically and politically. Exciting, gripping, fast-paced.

The world premiere will take place on July 19, 2024 in the Aletsch Arena. In the middle of the home of the wrathful figure on the Great Aletsch Glacier. A large part of the acting ensemble are also residents of the region. In this case, however, with heart and soul. Around 100 locals are involved in the production alongside professional theater professionals.

The enormous natural backdrop of the Aletsch Arena is used for the storytelling, because here man loses his sense of scale in relation to nature and is supposed to be amazed.

According to legend, the RolliBock is a fearsome creature that takes revenge on anyone and anything that tramples on nature. This includes the greedy hunter who gets in his way in the eternal ice and ends up disappearing never to be seen again in the mysterious Märjelen Lake. It was precisely this glacial lake that the people of the Upper Valais feared because its waters repeatedly flooded the valleys, causing devastation and suffering. It was said that the RolliBock had been angered.
