Literary performance: Väter revisited

At the same time, he describes how he dealt with his own children, with a subtle focus on moments of impatience and irascibility that repeatedly break through in moments of crisis.

Paul Brodowsky will read from the radio play version of the novel and composer and sound artist Milena Kipfmüller will add a musical and acoustic dimension to the multi-sensory performance.

The music, sounds and reading text will be mixed live. In addition, there will be image compositions by Nicolas Wollnik, who has created a series of images entitled "sites/sights" based on research photos of the novel, which work with double exposure techniques and open up poetic-visual spaces of association during the performance. "sites/sights" will also be on display throughout the evening as a small exhibition. The result is a dense literary performance between reading, live radio play and exhibition.

Paul Brodowsky lives in Berlin and writes prose, drama, radio plays and essays. He has received numerous prizes and scholarships, including the Frankfurt Authors' Foundation Prize and the Nicolas Born Prize. His best-known plays include "Regen in Neukölln" and "Intensivtäter".
