Description

Literary-musical evening with actor Martin Gruber and pianist Boris Ritter as part of the series "Places for Words" Actor Martin Gruber invites you to his fictional New York apartment to read with him some humorous, entertaining, and extraordinary stories about and from New York. Short stories from the perspectives of Paul Auster, Woody Allen, Dorothy Parker, and other insightful, dedicated New Yorkers, as well as authentic stories from Gruber himself, which he experienced during his acting school days in the Big Apple, will make you laugh, feel melancholic, thoughtful, and much more. Emotional shifts like only the "City that Never Sleeps" can offer. Modern and classical piano sounds accompany the text through time & avenues, connecting the stories into a harmonious and entertaining evening in New York - not only for fans of Martin Gruber but for everyone who has ever stood on the Empire State Building and marveled at the city on the Hudson River. And of course, for those who have always wanted to go there but never dared. For dreamers who envision a big career on Broadway. For purists who find great freedom in a cream cheese bagel on a bench in Central Park, and patrons who spend a thousand dollars on a filet steak in a fine restaurant. Honest people who have always wanted to know what the mafia has to do with New York, and daredevils who want to get involved in the Cosa Nostra. From touching love stories at Columbus Circle to flight delays with life-changing effects. Life moments where you can see yourself again or secretly wish to be part of it. Dream, laugh, feel. Listen to Martin Gruber's stories in his apartment in the Big Apple on stage.
