A Bavarian Cat-and-Mouse Game at Amerang Castle

On Friday, August 7, 2026, the curtain will rise at 7:30 PM at Amerang Castle for Georg Maier's Iberl Stage with the comedy Farm Chess – At some point, everyone falls.... The play takes you deep into the life of a farm amidst inheritance, debts, love troubles, and a ghost who still has something to resolve on earth. The new comedy of the Iberl Stage combines folk theater, fine irony, and lovingly sharpened observations of the Bavarian milieu.

Between Village Idyl and Existential Pressure

At the center is Hironimus Haiglbauer, who, after an accident, haunts the farm as a ghost while his son Victus is already stepping into the role of the large farmer. But order is fragile: Vreni thinks about selling and fleeing to the city, a feed representative collects debts, and from a funeral feast turns a game of future, possession, and dignity. The production draws its tension from the friction between tradition and departure, between down-to-earthness and greed.

Folk Theater with a Sharp Eye

Georg Maier shaped the Iberl Stage for decades as an author, theater maker, and voice of an unmistakable folk theater. The ensemble works with Bavarian language music, pointed character types, and a fine sense of social discrepancies. Thus, it creates not a folkloric postcard image but a lively theater atmosphere that offers the audience closeness, wit, and recognition.

A Castle as a Venue with Aura

Amerang Castle provides a particularly atmospheric setting for this. The ensemble performs in a historical facility between Munich and Salzburg; the arcaded courtyard is considered one of the largest irregular courtyards north of the Alps and is renowned for its acoustics. Anyone experiencing theater here feels the charm of the place as well as the concentration of a strong stage art. ([schlossamerang.de](https://www.schlossamerang.de/das-schloss/kurzbeschreibung))

What the Audience Can Expect

A stage experience with humor, dialect color, and surprising twists is expected, carried by Tom Mandl, Raphaela Maier, Nicola Pendelin, Florian Günther, and Hansi Kraus. The direction by Florian Günther focuses on pace, character precision, and the comedic intensification of a farm conflict that tells more about life than it initially seems. Those who love Bavarian theater with character should experience this evening live.
