Overview
Intro
Stockalper - Reprise
Nihil solidum nisi solum - Nothing is stable except ground and soil. Kaspar Stockalper took this motto very much to heart. His magnificent buildings can still be seen at every turn in the small town of Brig. The most famous of these is certainly Stockalper Castle, the largest secular baroque building in Switzerland.
We will take you to this historic site with several events from 18 May to 24 May 2026. The centerpiece is a traveling theater in the Stockalper Castle, where historical scenes are performed in historical costumes and at authentic locations. The monologues and dialogues are newly written by Hubert Theler, based on his play "In the Shadow of the Three Towers" based on the novel by Werner Ryser. Karim Habli is directing the play, as he did the great performances at La Poste Visp in March 2025. Most of the actors who took part in the great success of the play will be back for this lively history lesson. You can also look forward to readings and panel discussions in collaboration with the Research Institute for the History of the Alpine Region, the Swiss Foundation for the Stockalper Castle, the Museum in the Stockalper Castle and the Valais State Archives. The walking theater is performed in guided walking groups of thirty people each. The number of participants is therefore limited. Make sure you book your theater tickets in good time.
Immerse yourself in the life of probably the greatest Valaisan of all time, in the 17th century, with all its splendor, but also with the suffering and worries of the ordinary people of the time. It is probably unique to bring Kaspar Stockalper and his contemporaries back to life in his own castle. This creates historical moments that cannot be surpassed in terms of authenticity. Let yourself be whisked away into the time-honored walls of Stockalper Castle with entertainment, cultural mediation, music, painting and history brought to life.
