Description

 

Kursbeschreibung: 

Wir laden euch auf eine multimediale und interaktive Entdeckungsreise in das Reich der Nibelungen ein. Die Geschichte von Nibelungen zieht sich wie ein roter Faden durch die deutsche Kulturgeschichte. Die tragischen Ereignisse vom 5.-6. Jahrhundert wurden mehrfach in Sagenform verarbeitet, bis sie im 13. Jahrhundert zu einem Epos der Deutschen verschmolzen sind, dem berühmten Nibelungenlied. Wir werden die Geschichte und ihre Hintergründe kennen lernen und sie in multimedialen Formaten verfolgen, so etwa im Film, im Theater, in der Kunst und in der Oper. Darüber hinaus werden wir uns interaktiv dem Mittelalter nähern: durch das Lesen und Schreiben der Handschriften, durch Musik und Tanz und manches mehr.
