Akte Luftballon Reading

Description

“Two great women, two great stories of German history, a role model for tolerance and humanity!” (Jutta Speidel about the book “Akte Luftballon!” A small, yellow balloon crosses the border between West and East in 1977 and connects – initially through letters – the lives of two girls. The original carefree innocence of the children develops into an exchange about the future, politics, and society among critically thinking and acting young women on both sides of the wall. The staged reading with music of her autobiographical story takes the audience on an emotional journey back to the 70s and 80s of a divided Germany. Stefanie Wally vividly describes what it meant to grow up in a divided Europe during the “Cold War”. Her personal and captivatingly told story, along with the sensitive accompaniment and musical underscoring by pianist Paul Taube with music from that era, is a tribute to unconditional friendship and a call for humanity, freedom, and democracy in turbulent times. “Stefanie Wally captivates her audience with her story. She sings, she tells, she reads – but how! She effortlessly takes every listener on the journey from 1977 to today! Providing a deep insight into life on and beyond the wall that shaped this friendship for years.” *****plus for this reading!” Barbara Glauning, Munich
