Experience a unique Bavarian live audio play featuring captivating music from the Art Ensemble of Passau. On November 6, 1877, at a quarter to ten, farmers hear a gunshot at Peißenberg, followed by two more at one o'clock. However, it isn't until November 13, 1877, that the body of Georg Jennerwein is discovered by local youths. The famous Jennerwein song narrates: "On hard rock he spilled his blood, / and found he was lying on his belly. / Shot from behind, his chin was shattered." To this day, this figure known as "Girgl from Schliersee" is celebrated and romanticized as a freedom fighter, as the song states, "for in the mountains lives freedom."

Who was Georg Jennerwein, a man made immortal by his death? The story of his life, love, and eventual demise unfolds in a gripping manner through the talents of actors Johanna Bittenbinder, Heinz-Josef Braun, and Stefan Murr. From the dramatic death of his stepfather to Jennerwein's obsessive love affairs and his risky defiance of authority, culminating in a tragic fallout with his comrade Josef Pföderl, this narrative is spellbinding.

The Art Ensemble of Passau complements this tale with their immersive and atmospheric music, drawing audiences into the tumultuous life of this unpredictable and enigmatic character. Critics have hailed it as an extraordinary stage experience, thrilling like a film, and a brilliant test for the senses that ignites the imagination.
