Translation:

The Petrivision, the nighttime performance series at St. Petri focusing on cultural, scientific, and religious themes, is entering its 25th year. What began in the year 2000 as a completely new event format with a series on “Beginnings” has, despite the unusual hour — Saturdays at 11 p.m. — lost none of its appeal over time and continues to draw a large audience. What was originally a simple program of speeches and music has evolved into an elaborate production featuring staged readings, installations, and interactive surprises.

The Petrivision working group has always placed great importance on choosing themes that are timely and relevant, particularly in light of political developments. For the anniversary series, the team — led by director Sigrid Dettlof, Pastor Dr. Bernd Schwarze, and Pastor Lilly Schaack — has chosen the theme “Realities” to create space for discussions about current social tensions.
