Reading Time

Stadtbücherei

Once a month, ensemble members of the Theater und Orchester Heidelberg read at the Stadtbücherei, offering an exciting literary addition to our programme with free admission.

On the occasion of the staging of »Every Man Dies Alone«, based on the novel by Hans Fallada, in the Alter Saal, Hans Fleischmann reads from Fallada's stories, such as the autobiographical »Warning Against Books«. Fallada's belief in the »decency of human beings« remains unshakeable throughout.

The new production by FAUST award winner Jana Vetten is Tine Rahel Völcker's »We Are Family«. It is a rewriting of the story of the royal house of Mycenae from Greek mythology: Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, Achilles and Iphigenia, Electra and Orestes. In the reading time, Nicole Averkamp presents the classical template for this, namely the corresponding chapters from Gustav Schwab's most beautiful »Legends of Classical Antiquity«.
