Standldiridari

Tradition or profit?

Munich’s Viktualienmarkt in the “good old days.” Here you can get everything your heart, palate, and stomach desire: poultry, vegetables, wine, herbs, and spices. But lately, sales have been leaving something to be desired. And the market supervisor’s annoying checks are also dampening the mood. At Standldiridari with the Landstorfer Ensemble in the Silbersaal, a shrewd Munich Bazis makes a tempting offer: to sell the traditional market to a wealthy investor and thus get rid of all worries. But can the traditional heart of Munich really be left to such a fate?

The Landstorfer Ensemble

In 1983, Peter Landstorfer founded the Landstorfer Ensemble with friends who were enthusiastic about theater, some of whom are still active members today. They performed Bavarian farces and comedies by well-known authors at the Waldwirtschaft Großhesselohe. In 1986, the group wanted to get back to the city, so they moved to a new venue in Hirschgarten and changed their name accordingly. Two years later, “Die Bühne im Hirschgarten” performed its first original play, written by Peter Landstorfer. Since then, a new Landstorfer premiere has been celebrated every year, and Peter’s works are now among the most frequently performed in Bavaria. At the same time, the group regularly performs on other stages, for example in Bayrischzell, Miesbach, Landshut, in the Wildschönau, and in 2020 even in the Komödienstadel of Bayerischer Rundfunk with the play “Da Austrags-Schwindel.”
