Friedrich Dürrenmatt

Description

Faith and Knowledge, Guilt and Redemption, God and Justice: Friedrich Dürrenmatt has spent his entire life working through religion. His texts testify to an existential urgency, but they also offer great reading pleasure through satire and irony. Join us in the literary world of the "uprooted Protestant, burdened with the bump of doubt." Reading: Hanspeter Müller-Drossaart
Moderation: Andreas Mauz Literature is indispensable, but it is also transient. Authors are often forgotten soon after their death — along with their work. ReDiscover, our reading series, aims to remember authors from German-speaking Switzerland who are no longer as prominent as they deserve to be. The recent literary history is rich in wonderful treasures — over ten evenings, we want to uncover these. Among them Laure Wyss, Adelheid Duvanel, Kurt Marti, Ludwig Hohl, and others. An author and work will be introduced in a brief presentation, followed by readings from well-known actors — such as Charles Brauer, Meret Bodamer, Dominique Lüdi, or Hanspeter Müller-Drossaart — from the works. Afterwards, we invite you to a conversation: an encouragement for literary happiness. In cooperation with Bloomell Coffeehouse, the culture and meeting bar opens an hour before the event begins with various drinks and snacks.
