Comic-Lesebühne: COLUMBUSSTRASSE mit Tobi Dahmen

In the organizer's words:

"Differentiated, gripping - a very moving work of remembrance" was the verdict of SWR and Rolling Stone simply wrote "The best and most important graphic novel of the year". With COLUMBUSSTRASSE, Tobi Dahmen created a magnificent comic novel last year, which he is now presenting on our stage, with an audiovisual reading and artist talk.

Columbusstraße: A family saga in the time of the Second World War

After the death of his father, Tobi Dahmen discovers a collection of old family letters. Based on the moving testimonies, he reconstructs a chronicle of the German war years in the mirror of his own family history.

In his captivating graphic novel, Tobi Dahmen not only tells the story of his family, but also impressively reflects on the German past and the questions of political and personal responsibility.
