"The Call of Cthulhu" is about the young anthropologist Francis Wayland Thurston, who inherits a series of mysterious documents after the death of his great-uncle. These lead him on the trail of a secret cult movement that worships an ancient god called Cthulhu, who sleeps in a sunken city in the Pacific. The deeper Thurston delves into the abyss of madness, the closer he comes to awakening the cosmic horror.
"The Call of Cthulhu" is a short story by US horror author H. P. Lovecraft and is a key work in his famous Cthulhu Mythos.
A new reading series entitled "Table Read" is being launched at the Rottstr 5 Theater.
The permanent cast on stage includes actor Benjamin Werner and musician Dominik Otremba, who will be supported by changing special guests from different artistic fields, just as the stories and texts will vary with each edition.
In a stage set-up reduced to the bare essentials, the stories unfold live in front of the audience's inner and outer eye, pure and direct.
Musician and 1Live presenter Klaus Fiehe has been invited to perform at the first edition on November 10.
