FRANKENSTEIN
FESTIVAL
in Ingolstadt
"She returns home" - what has happened so far...
August 30 is celebrated as International Frankenstein Day in honor of the British author Mary Shelley. She published the bestseller "Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus" in 1818. In her novel, Victor Frankenstein, a student at the University of Ingolstadt, creates the first human-like artificial intelligence.
Because of its appearance, The Creation is cast out, wanders through Europe and eventually becomes a famous film character in Hollywood. The myth grows worldwide, but the creation feels the urge to return to Ingolstadt in search of its identity.
On August 30, 2024, she arrives in the city on the Danube, bandaged and apparently badly scarred by her journey. An unexpected birthday present for author Mary Shelley, who is also a guest in Ingolstadt.
But before she can take care of her guest and question him about his 200-year journey, he disappears without a trace...
What you can expect...
