Ferdinand von Schirach - An Evening with Ferdinand von Schirach

An Evening with Ferdinand von Schirach

He is one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary German literature - his writing is clear, precise, and raises questions that linger long after the last page.

On 12 and 13 September 2026, Ferdinand von Schirach comes to the E.T.A.-Hoffmann-Theater in Bamberg for two intimate performances, close to the audience and far from any standard format.

He will read and narrate texts that are not conceived as finished works. The focus lies on themes and questions currently on his mind: responsibility and closeness, what connects people and what drives them apart. The programme is open, with room for improvisation.

Larger events for wider audiences will follow later. These two evenings are an experiment that will happen only at the E.T.A. Hoffmann-Theater in Bamberg.
