Lesezeit / Andersen

In the organizer's words:

To coincide with the performance of "The Emperor's New Clothes - Moth Time" as part of the Schlossfestspiele, Simon Mazouri presents a personal selection of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales during reading time. On closer inspection, almost everything in Hans Christian Andersen's writings is "weird", enticing and sinister, ambiguous and dubious, pathetic and witty, oscillating between beguiling sensuality and brittle abstraction, biting sharpness and gentle irony. And understandable all over the world: "Life is the most beautiful fairy tale, because we ourselves appear in it."

Once a month, members of the Heidelberg Theater and Orchestra ensemble read at the Stadtbücherei, offering an exciting literary addition to our performance schedule with Free admission.
