Prior to the outdoor game performance in Schwäbische Hall, an unfortunate incident involving the actors
In the picturesque town of Schwäbisch Hall, known for its Freilichtspiele, an open-air theater that hosts a variety of performances, an unfortunate incident has occurred. Two teenagers physically assaulted actors at the theater, leaving one of them hospitalised and the other slightly injured.
The intendant of the open-air theater, Christian Doll, confirmed that the actor who was hospitalised had to be replaced in subsequent performances. The attack took place in the garden of the actors' accommodation, with the perpetrators using a stick and a broken glass bottle.
The open-air theater's official statement emphasised that the team consists of many people with different backgrounds and sexual orientations. This diverse nature of the team, according to the statement, makes such an event all the more distressing. Christian Doll, the intendant, believes that the attack is a reason to set an example against queerphobic violence.
The police and the public prosecutor's office are still investigating the attack, and a criminal proceeding has been initiated against the two teenagers for bodily harm and insult. However, it's important to note that the police do not believe that the attack was motivated by homophobia or racism.
The incident has had a significant impact on the community, according to Christian Doll. He perceives Schwäbisch Hall as a very open and safe city, but the incident has created a feeling of insecurity among the employees. Mutual respect, he notes, is not yet a given.
In response to the attack, the open-air theater has tightened its security measures. Christian Doll also emphasised the importance of speaking out against such incidents to create a more inclusive and safe society.
For those interested in learning more about this incident, it is recommended to check local German news sources, look for official statements from the theater management or local authorities, and keep an eye on social media discussions related to the theater. The open-air theater waited to publish the incident to protect the victims.
This unfortunate incident serves as a reminder that while progress has been made, there is still work to be done in fostering a society where everyone feels safe and respected.
The intendant of the open-air theater, Christian Doll, expressed concerns about recent events, stating that the attack on actors was a reason to speak out against queerphobic violence and set an example for politics, general-news and crime-and-justice. He also emphasized the need for more security measures in the theater to ensure the safety of everyone in the community, as reported in crime-and-justice news.
In light of the attack and the subsequent impact on the community, the open-air theater has also encouraged everyone to looking for official statements from the theater management or local authorities, local German news sources, or social media discussions related to the theater for updates and more information on the incident, in an effort to foster a more inclusive and safe society, general-news.
