Erich Kästner Evening: A man gives information, Villa Irmgard

Literary-musical Erich Kästner Evening 

Under the motto “A man gives information”, the singer and the chronicler of his time meet on stage. "People are good," Kästner knew. "Only the people are bad," he wrote.

Many of Erich Kästner’s sharp observations are part of everyday vocabulary today: “There is nothing good unless you do it,” for example. People speak Kästner without knowing it. In his homage to Erich Kästner, Johannes Kirchberg a deep bow to the poet and presents his own musical settings of Erich Kästner's contemporary and socially critical poetry.

“Ein Mann gibt Auskunft” applies Kästner’s texts to his biography, searching for and finding references that are the reasons for such well-known poems as “Sachliche Romanze” or “Monologue in der Badewanne”. 

Doors open at 15:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the tourist information offices, at www.kaiserbaeder-auf-usedom.de, remaining tickets at the box office - €16,00.
