Comic-Lesebühne im Koki: SCHLACHTHOF 5 (K. Vonnegut)

In the organizer's words:

Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse 5" is considered one of the most important anti-war novels and a masterpiece of science fiction. It is not a realistic tale of battle and carnage, but describes the uprooting and disintegration of its hero Billy Pilgrim, who is no longer firmly anchored in time, with gifted lunacy. He jumps wildly back and forth in his life: between a well-behaved post-war existence as an optician, the fiery hell of Dresden as an American prisoner of war - and his existence as an exhibit from Earth in an extraterrestrial zoo. Author Ryan North and illustrator Albert Monteys have done a brilliant job of translating the special character of "Slaughterhouse 5", its humor, profundity and horror, into a graphic novel. Matthias Wieland, who translated this completely crazy book, will introduce it and present an audiovisual reading that will immerse us deeply in the work.
