Ein Abend mit Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre

In the organizer's words:

Immerse yourself in a world in which the German language is dissected more precisely than anywhere else: Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre honors the Kulturraffinerie K714 and brings with him the same inimitable energy that elevates his evenings far beyond a classic reading. The evening will be an experience that oscillates between intellectual high-wire act and rousing entertainment.

Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre has been regarded as the defining voice of German pop literature since his debut "Soloalbum" at the end of the 1990s. But he is far more than just an author. He is a chronicler of the zeitgeist, a sharp-tongued observer of social abysses and a master of self-dramatization. With works such as the autobiographical "Panikherz" and his latest book "Noch wach?", he has definitively established himself as one of the most important writers of our time. He knows like no other how to combine razor-sharp analysis with a tempo that lends his texts an almost musical lightness.

Those who attend this evening will witness a performance that Der Spiegel describes as a "stage diving feeling": emotional, pointed and always on the pulse of the times. His latest novel "Noch wach?" (Still awake?) in particular, which courageously addresses the complex gray areas of abuse of power and #MeToo, proves that Stuckrad-Barre looks where it hurts. And yet always entertains brilliantly. Look forward to a spectacle of language and rhythm that will resonate for a long time.

Admission: 7 pm
