Marina Barth reads from Am Kronleuchter hängen wir nicht immer - wie Trude Herr die Welt sah as part of the Cologne Summer of Literature at NIMM PLATZ
Charlotte and Yannic are expecting a child. They are settling into a new life as a family. But then disaster strikes: their son, Gustav Tian Ming, dies. Yannic begins to write down what is happening around them. It is an attempt to understand what has happened to them, to find a language for the pain, but also for the warmth and love hidden within it.
The Cologne Summer of Literature is curated by the Cologne literary scene.
NIMM PLATZ am Neumarkt is a joint project of Cologne's cultural administration and the independent cultural scene, with contributions from the University of Music and Dance (HfMT) and the Academy of Media Arts (KHM).
