Reinhold Messner - "Über Leben"

In the organizer's words:

What does home smell like? How much freedom does a child need? How important are fear, egoism and instinct for survival? In his new multivision lecture, Reinhold Messner outlines the path from South Tyrolean mountain boy to the greatest adventurer of our time.

With his uncompromising ascents of the world's highest mountains, he achieved what was considered unattainable at the time. He pushed the boundaries of what was possible and became the most famous alpinist of our time. In those expeditions, he experienced how survival works. As a frontier runner and with this experience, he also set out on the other milestones of his life. As a desert adventurer, as a politician and mountain farmer, as the founder of a unique museum landscape and as a family man and father of four. With powerful words and images, he looks back on seven decades that were marked early on by encounters with death and extreme experiences in nature. Reinhold Messner, whose curiosity is unbroken, talks candidly about the essence of his life and wrestles with concepts such as courage, passion and responsibility. He talks about ambition and shame, nightmares and inevitable ageing, about new beginnings and the ability to let go at the end.
