Literatur im Konzerthaus
5 Lesungen im Mozart-Saal
Saalplan mit 6 Kategorien (Mozart-Saal)
The cycle »Literatur im Konzerthaus« goes on the hunt for good stories. The hunt is also what dooms Penthesilea and Achilles in Kleist's scandalous drama: Sandra Hüller and Jens Harzer draw the tableau vivant of an amour fou. A male friendship stronger than Eros is the focus of »Jules and Jim«: Markus Meyer reads from Roché's nouvelle vague novel. Orlando from Virginia Woolf's work of the same name wanders between centuries and gender identities. Johanna Wokalek, Eloïse Bella Kohn and Michael Barenboim lead the audience through this journey through time. On the 150th birthday of Karl Kraus, Karl Markovics and the Neue Wiener Concert Schrammeln celebrate the art of formulation and the far-sightedness of the pugnacious literary figure with a sharp-tongued »Problemlesung«. Gerti Drassl, Michael Maertens and Daniel Keberle with the klezmer reloaded ensemble devote themselves to the Viennese turn of the century and its filou Anatol.
