Bernd Felder is a virtuoso of light. For thirty three years, he worked in the lighting department of Schauspielhaus Bochum, ten of those as its head. Joining the theatre back then was a dream come true. Few places, he says, allow light to be used in such a striking and expressive way.

In the video, the lighting designer offers a look behind the scenes. You will see the special bond he has with his lighting instruments. “My light supports the emotions on stage.”

Light needs electricity. It may come “from the socket,” but before that it must be generated and then carried through the power grid to homes, businesses and theatres. Amprion manages the long distance traffic of the German electricity system from Lower Saxony to the Alps. Our extra high voltage lines transport the power needed by twenty nine million people, thousands of companies and countless cultural institutions.
