Das Markusevangelium mit Eric Wehrlin

Immerse yourself in a captivating journey through the oldest Gospel, up close and unadulterated!

On stage there is no lecture, no reading, but an actor who embodies the text of the Gospel of Mark by heart and with full devotion. Eric Wehrlin brings this timeless narrative to life as if he himself had been part of the events. The viewer is transported back – right into the first century – and experiences history first-hand, more vividly than ever before.

The special feature of this theatre evening? The text remains pure and unchanged as it is found in the New Testament. No comments, no personal remarks – just the words and deeds as Mark handed them down. But Eric Wehrlin gives the characters their own voice, playing each person with impressive precision and deep empathy. The Gospel of Mark is made for the stage: colourful, exciting, precise and full of dramatic highlights. It draws lively scenes and describes impressive events around Jesus, up to the crucifixion and resurrection - the moving finale of a unique evening.

For 30 years, Eric Wehrlin has been delighting audiences with this extraordinary production. More than 500 performances have made the evening the most successful theatre project in the German-speaking world! And it is not only church circles that are affected by this.
