Fulda

Fulda ist eine Stadt in Hessen mit etwa siebzigtausend Einwohnern. Es ist die neuntgrößte Stadt im Land Hessen und ist sehr alt: das benediktine Kloster Fulda wurde im Jahr 744 gegründet. Schon lange ist Fulda ein wichtiges katholisches Zentrum - die Stadt hat auch den Dom St. Salvator, der die Grabeskirche des heiligen Bonifatius und das Ziel der Bonifatiuswallfahrt ist. Während des kalten Krieges war Fulda im Zonenrandgebiet, weil das Stadtzentrum nur fünfhundertdreißig Kilometer von der innerdeutschen Grenze war. Die Stadt hat eine ausgezeichnete Verkehrsanbindung, und ist ein Mittelpunkt für beide Nahverkehrszüge und Hochgeschwindigkeitszugverbindungen. Außer des Domes, sind andere Sehenswürdigkeiten das Stadtschloss, die Michaelskirche, das Barockviertel und das Alte Rathaus. Eine kulinarische Spezialität von Fulda ist der Zwibbelsploatz (Zwiebelkuchen auf Standarddeutsch).

Ich lache mich bei deinen Posts regelmäßig kringelig. Einer meiner Lieblingsblogs auf Tumblr.

Nun aber zur eigentlichen Frage: Was hältst du vom Bahnhof Fulda?

Jeder hat diesen einen Bahnhof der immer wieder zur unfreiwilligen Endhaltestelle für drei bis fünf Stunden wird. Für mich isses Fulda. Ernsthaft, als wäre Fulda der Verkehrsknotenpunkt schlechthin strande ich ungefähr einmal im Quartal in diesem unangenehm gelben Bahnhofsgebäude. 0/10, was will ich schon wieder in Fulda??

I read the novel "Pope Joan", which the musical "Die Päpstin" is based on, to find out what on earth went wrong with the new Fulda production so that it's not possible to logically comprehend.

Despite the book itself being a mess, there is a significant difference in the plot considering the main question of the whole story:

HOW did Johanna become the Pope?

Meanwhile in the musical she gets arrested due to Anastasius' intrigue, and right after this the Pope gets poisoned and Johanna is all of a sudden elected as a new Pope, in the book these events are set TEN years apart. Ten years of Johanna holding a high and honorable clerical position and getting more and more popular among the romans. But the autors of the musical script just crossed out around 100 book pages full of events and story development to fit everything in the timing of a stage show. (Which kind of makes me think that mabye it wasn't the best idea to adapt this story into a musical in the first place, but who knows.)

Many other cuts are actually efficient and justified. What the new musical production did really well compared to the book is

1. Combining the character of brother Rabanus from four different book characters.

2. Making Anastasius and Johanna meet at the beginning, so he could recognize her later.

3. The whole lashing punishment thing in Fulda. (Good idea, poor execution, but it's another topic😔)(Mabye I just have a kink😔😔)

4. Making Johanna escape the Fulda monastery right after her father dies, while in the book it wasn't a big deal and she stayed in Fulda for a couple of years more.

5. Combining two predecessing Popes into one.

6. Making Gerold recognize Johanna by the hydraulic gate mechanism.

But because of the other big cuts most of the plot twists in the musical feel absolutely random and out of blue. Some of the most significant events from the book are completely missing, such as:

1. Saracen attack on Rome, when Johanna calms down the panicking crowds on the streets and becomes people's heroine.

2. Anastasius setting on fire one of the roman districts, when Johanna again gets to be a savior of the injured, and Anastasius gets banished from Rome.

3. A big flood, when Johanna and Gerold are asumed to be dead by everyone, and they plan to use it and escape together.

Not only the episodes from the book were reduced, but also some scenes from the old production which made the show more alive (for example the fair in Saint Dennis). And after cutting nessesary elements the creators added some new stuff which is redundant, I'm sorry😭

Like, the damned pizza sketch??? the fortune teller woman??? a gang of abstract and impersonal corrupt bishops???

the new Marioza's plot line??? Yes, it's definitely great to have another important female character in the story, and it's cool for the tention that Johanna is exposed of being a woman, but where does it all even lead???

And despite all the changes the musical still inherited most of the problems of the book such as two-dimensional characters and a hollow questionable love story.
