Reading & Discussion

Samantha Schweblin
Moderation: María Cecilia Barbetta
Reading voice: Marit Beyer

Schweblin's perspective on life is often eerie and disturbing: With her atmospherically dense and always laconic texts, she takes us into foreign, macabre worlds that appear familiar yet are unsettling through small details, deviating slightly from normality, leading us astray, and presenting things in unexpected perspectives. In her 2020 novel "Hundert Augen," translated by Marianne Gareis, the author, born in 1978 in Buenos Aires and now living in Berlin, remains true to herself. She confronts her readers with the challenges of the present by exposing our technology-dominated reality, our dependencies, and longings through robotic stuffed animals, and raises questions about the mediated future.

100 Songs - Premiere

An einem Septembermorgen um 8:55 Uhr besteigt eine Gruppe Menschen, die sich untereinander nicht kennen, einen Zug. Außer der zufälligen Wahl des Transportmittels, haben sie zunächst nichts gemeinsam. Doch das Schicksal verbindet sie auf tragische Weise: Nur Augenblicke später explodiert der Zug vor den Augen einer Kellnerin im Bahnhofscafé.

Roland Schimmelpfennig nähert sich in seinem Werk diesem unfassbaren und unbeschreibbaren Ereignis, indem er die Zeit kurz vor der Katastrophe immer wieder neu beleuchtet. Er taucht in die Lebensgeschichten und Erinnerungen der Passagiere ein und zeigt sie in einem Moment, als noch alles möglich schien - mit Zielen, Träumen und Wünschen.

„100 Songs“ ist ein intensives, poetisches und tiefgründiges Drama, das sowohl durch seine sprachliche Schönheit als auch durch die universellen Fragen, die es aufwirft, besticht. Es lädt dazu ein, sich mit der eigenen Lebensgeschichte und den Geschichten anderer auseinanderzusetzen – und das nicht nur als passive Zuschauer, sondern als aktive, mitfühlende Teilhaber.
"Es war, als ob hundert Songs gleichzeitig liefen"

Regie: Natascha Lifka und Katja Schumann
Mit den Mitgliedern des Jungen Ensembles Ansbach und dem Stadtensemble des Theaters

Restkarten gibt es ggf. noch an der Abendkasse oder unter Tel. 0981/9704014.

On a September morning at 8:55 a.m., a group of people who do not know each other boards a train. Besides the random choice of transport, they initially have nothing in common. But fate connects them in a tragic way: Just moments later, the train explodes before the eyes of a waitress in the train station café.

Roland Schimmelpfennig approaches this unfathomable and indescribable event in his work by repeatedly shining a light on the moments just before the catastrophe. He delves into the life stories and memories of the passengers and presents them at a moment when everything still seemed possible – with goals, dreams, and wishes.

“100 Songs” is an intense, poetic, and profound drama that captivates not only through its linguistic beauty but also through the universal questions it raises. It invites us to engage with our own life stories and the stories of others – not just as passive spectators, but as active, empathetic participants.
"It was as if a hundred songs were playing at the same time."

Umlaufbahnen - von Samantha Harvey

“Umlaufbahnen” by Samantha Harvey
Six astronauts are floating in a space station through space. They orbit the planet Earth in 90 minutes, sixteen times in 24 hours. The two women and four men from very different nations work, eat, and sleep in confined space – and yet everything is detached from everyday life, gravity and the perception of time are suspended. What happens when you see your home only from a distance through a small window? How do thinking and feeling change? In just one day, while the sun rises and sets sixteen times, this unusual, powerfully poetic novel explores the big and small questions of humanity and brings us close to the beauty of the universe.

Admission: VVK/AK 12/15€ (Oldenburg Pass free)

Lesereise quer Beet - "Eine Herde Schafe, ein Paar Gummistiefel und ein anderer Blick aufs Leben"

Bärbel Schäfer was born in Bremen. She is known as a presenter from TV and radio, awarded with the Golden Camera, journalist, and author of several successful non-fiction books on social issues. Every Sunday, she is in conversation on hr3 with a prominent talk guest and conducts interviews for the emotion series "Man, what do you feel?" Bärbel Schäfer is married to publicist and television presenter Michel Friedman and has two children.

From the rural longing of a city woman:
Finally getting out of the office again, being in nature, working with her hands: this is a longing that many share. Including presenter Bärbel Schäfer. But dreaming alone doesn't help, so she decides to undertake a personal experiment. For a year, she accompanies a shepherd in his work to find out for herself what herders have learned in their millennia-long coexistence with humans, animals, and nature.

Bärbel Schäfer swaps her white sneakers for muddy rubber boots and helps out on the farm and pasture in all weather. In the process, she learns not only a lot about the fascinating nature of sheep, active environmental protection, and rural life, but also about herself. Because there can be great happiness in daring to do something completely new.

The reading takes place at the Höß family, Muggengärtlestr. 20 - Bad weather alternative is the village museum

Die Kraft in dir

About the untamed strength that slumbers within each of us

"Should I really dare it?"

Alex lives a completely normal life: mother, partner, employee – a cog in the wheel of everyday life that functions reliably. Yet behind the facade of routines smolders the spark of a nearly forgotten dream: the opening of her own book café. When unexpectedly six extraordinary people enter Alex's life, her vision begins to transform into a tangible goal. But before she can realize her dream, she must confront a series of uncomfortable truths about her past life and take bold steps she has previously shied away from.

A love letter to life and to the strength within each of us to follow our dreams.

From the author of the SPIEGEL bestseller "You Are the Best Thing That Ever Happened to You" as well as "The Sun in You" and "The Miracle in You."

Hanns-Josef Ortheil - Schwebebahnen

Hanns-Josef Ortheil comes for a reading to the Siegen mirror tent shortly after the publication of his new novel "Schwebebahnen." In his seventieth year and with over seventy published works, Ortheil is considered one of the defining literary voices of post-war German literature. "Schwebebahnen" tells the story of six-year-old Josef, who moves with his parents from Cologne to the mountainous Wuppertal in a house full of railway families at the end of the 1950s. Josef is an introverted loner who prefers to play the piano and initially observes the world from a safe distance. However, through his friendship with Mücke, the daughter of the greengrocer, a new access to the world slowly opens up for him. Hanns-Josef Ortheil describes with great tenderness and clear insight how the boy, through music, imagination, and writing stories about suspension railway journeys along the Wupper, expeditions with quirky animals in the zoo, or adventurous battles with youth gangs in a nearby forest, carves out his place in a society marked by traumas. "Schwebebahnen" is not only a touching coming-of-age novel but also a multifaceted social panorama of post-war West Germany – shaped by silence, fears, and the quiet reconstruction of souls. The evening in the mirror tent promises an impressive encounter with a sensitive storyteller, who masterfully encapsulates the fragile balance between the inner and outer world, past and present, in language, through a deeply moving intensity between melancholy, hope, and literary strength.

SOPHIA MAIER - „Herz aus Stacheldraht“ Lesung

Zwischen Krieg und Hoffnung – Ein Plädoyer für Menschlichkeit

Was bleibt von der Menschlichkeit, wenn wir einfach wegsehen? „Herz aus Stacheldraht“ ist ein bewegender Blick auf die Wirklichkeit von Krieg und Flucht – ehrlich, nah und unbequem.

Die preisgekrönte Journalistin nimmt dich mit in die Krisengebiete der Welt: in die Ukraine, nach Afghanistan, Syrien, in Geflüchtetenlager im Libanon, Westjordanland oder nach Griechenland. Dort trifft sie Frauen, Kinder, Familien – Menschen, die alles verloren haben.

Mit schonungsloser Klarheit erzählt sie von Zerstörung, Verlust und Hoffnung, stellt unbequeme Fragen zur Verantwortung des Westens und dokumentiert das Leben in Ausnahmesituationen.

Maier begegnet Menschen, die für Gerechtigkeit kämpfen – und damit zeigen, dass Menschlichkeit nie ganz verloren geht. Ihr Buch ist eine Mahnung und ein Aufruf zum Hinsehen.

Sophia Maier ist Kriegsreporterin mit langjähriger Erfahrung. Sie berichtet weltweit aus Krisengebieten mit besonderem Fokus auf Frauen und Kinder. Mit journalistischer Präzision und menschlicher Tiefe schafft sie ein Werk, das aufrüttelt – und zum Handeln bewegt.

Ein Abend mit Texten, Bildern und Videos aus ihrer Arbeit über eine Welt im Ausnahmezustand und die Frage, was Menschlichkeit und Verantwortung heute bedeuten.

Lesung „Totenschein“

Carsten Schmitt & Tanja Karmann read abyssal and creepy stories from their own and others' pens

After the successful readings of previous years, the author duo Carsten Schmitt and Tanja Karmann will take you on a journey into the dark corners of fantastic literature once again. Fitting for the misty and gloomy November, their stories will provide you with delightful chills and gentle shivers in the appropriate ambiance of Baker Street. They not only have new and rediscovered stories in their luggage but also the new edition of the “Totenschein,” the vintage newspaper project that according to TOR ONLINE is among the best print magazines for fantasy, horror, and science fiction literature.

About the authors:

Carsten Schmitt was born on a completely calm spring afternoon in 1977 and spent a happy childhood on a mountain surrounded by forests, bunkers, and ruins. In the mornings, he writes fantastic stories, does something with computers during the day, and is much too tired at night to combat crime as well.
Carsten's short stories have been translated into half a dozen languages and have appeared in Europe, Canada, and China. His tale “Wagner's Voice” was awarded the German Science Fiction Prize 2021.
It's true that he once had dinner with George R. R. Martin, but it’s untrue that he has since been particularly cruel to his characters.

Tanja Karmann didn’t like going into basements as a child. Or attics. For the same reason, she also rarely watches horror films. However, she has always had a flair for the mysterious – and to find good stories, she dares to venture down into abysses, always accompanied by the light of creativity. This true Saarland native in exile has always enjoyed surrounding herself with books. Since 2016, she has been writing herself; her mystery thriller “Nachtschreck” was published in 2020, and the vampire novel “Flapperblut” in 2022.

Victor Schefé live be uns mit "Zwei, drei blaue Augen"

From letters, diary entries, childhood memories, and Stasi files, actor, singer, and now author, Victor Schefé, shapes a novel that shines with energy. With this novel, he processes his own story and takes us on a journey full of highs and lows.
About the book:
A person, perhaps born in the wrong place, sets out to be free and independent: Tassilo, young and in love with music and men, wants to escape from the Rostock estate and into the freedom of West Berlin. Wavering between despair and euphoria, he plans his escape. For at home, he no longer seems to be safe: "Mother says she will do everything to ensure that my plans never come to fruition. Her declaration of war is clear – not just as a mother, but also as a comrade." It seems like a miracle, but in 1986, at just nineteen years old, this seeker and faltering soul with blue eyes arrives at Zoo Station. Three years later, the wall falls, and he makes a discovery that changes his entire life…

She had everything and lost everything: Seconds of inattention cost her only daughter her life. Deeply, Linda looks into the abyss and almost falls, but there are gossamer threads that hold her – the dog Kaja, the steady tasks in the garden, the empathy for others. She only realizes how much strength is within her when she finds her way back to everyday life and to herself.

The book is nominated for the German Book Prize 2024. Daniela Krien has been a freelance author since 2010. Her novels have been on the bestseller list for months and have been translated into many languages.

Anne Sanders: An Liebe führt kein Weg vorbei

Chestnut Road - Volume 3. Lucy Dixon, personified happiness from Texas, has moved to Chestnut Road because of love. But now her fiancé's move is delayed, leaving her standing alone. And almost literally, because the container with her belongings has also disappeared at sea. Just when Lucy thinks it can't get worse, she suddenly hears strange noises in her apartment – is it haunted here? In a moment of panic, she grabs the first neighbor she encounters in the stairwell: game developer Oliver Bellingcourt. He, the exact opposite of Lucy, will be her lifeline in multiple ways...

Anne Sanders worked as a journalist for, among others, the Süddeutsche Zeitung before fully committing to writing in 2014. Her love for the British Isles runs through almost all of her novels – including the young adult books she writes under different names. The bestselling author lives with her husband and cats in the Munich metropolitan area. The author photo is by Bernhard Blöchl.

Lars Werner - Zwischen den Dörfern auf hundert

Speed, pogo, and trash outfits as a response to nostalgia, kitsch, and historical amnesia. Lars Werner ("Weißer Raum") tells in his debut novel about the coming-of-age confusions of teenager Benny, who finds a surrogate family in the punk scene in Dresden during the years 2005/06 and gradually comprehends his queer self. The fact that not only Benny’s own perceptions of the world are challenged, but also all romantic clichés of "Elbflorenz" Dresden are turned upside down, contributes to the anarchic charm of the book. Our reviewer Gabriel Wolkenfeld has taken to the fast lane with "Zwischen den Dörfern auf hundert" and discovered a book that touches, convinces, and sometimes even hurts.
