The Zwiesler Dilettantenverein e. V. is an amateur theatre association in Zwiesel, district of Regen, in the Bavarian Forest, Lower Bavaria, Germany. Amateur players in Zwiesel are recorded from 1889, and the Dilettantenverein was founded in 1892; after several interruptions it was revived in 1991.[1]
History
The association's chronicle records a first performance of two plays in the Kammermaier hall in Zwiesel on 27 October 1889; the Dilettantenverein was founded in 1892. It was re-established on 28 January 1906 and played regularly in the Pfeffersaal until the 1930s. Its activities stopped with the beginning of the Second World War; former members met again on 8 December 1950 and resumed playing, but the last production of this period was staged in 1957.[1]
On 22 September 1991 the old association was revived, and from 1992 it staged several productions a year, including local plays such as Zwiesler Drehscheib'n and Der Dampfbierkrieg. It gave a guest performance in Innsbruck in 1996, took part in an East Bavarian festival summer in Berlin in 2002 and in the parade for the centenary of the town of Zwiesel in 2004. From 2005 it also had a children's and youth group. The association celebrated its 25th anniversary since the revival in 2016.[1] During the COVID-19 pandemic it had no official activities in 2020 and turned to film: an advertising film for the 1. Dampfbierbrauerei Zwiesel (2021) and its first feature film, Betrug am Jenseits, shown at the Zwiesel cinema in 2022.[1][2] It returned to the stage in 2023 with Dracula.[2]
Repertoire
The repertoire ranges from Bavarian folk plays and comedies to classics such as Kleist's Der zerbrochene Krug, Christmas plays, children's plays and, since 2023, gothic and crime plays.[1][3]
