Christian Nachtigäller - All-You-Can-Hear
Bürgerhaus Telgte, Germany
Under the motto "All-You-Can-Hear", Christian Nachtigäller brings a colourful mix of new, brand-new and older quirky-morbid stories. Sometimes deadpan, sometimes funny, occasionally a little mean - but always with a wink - he recounts his bizarre run-ins with everyday life.
He keeps stumbling into grotesque situations and tries to extract himself with some degree of elegance - with varying results. A trip to the doctor or a visit to a school becomes an open-ended adventure.
These are not grand, epic tales of heroism, but the kind of everyday situations that could happen to anyone at any time. A broken leg can shift your whole perspective on the neighbours, and an encounter with therapy animals can spiral completely out of control.
This reading evening is not just an entertaining hour of stories and poems - it also comes with live musical accompaniment.
