World literature & Roots music:
Heiner Lauterbach presents "Like a Hobo"
Heiner Lauterbach is one of the most prominent actors in our country. His performances have shaped
German cinema over the last four decades like no other.
With "Like a Hobo," Lauterbach now embarks on one of his rare excursions onto live stages across Germany and explores the literary DNA of the USA, the great storytellers like Mark Twain, Truman Capote, William Faulkner, Jack London, F. Scott Fitzgerald,
John Steinbeck, O'Henry, who have inspired and shaped world literature and whose texts have not
lost their relevance to this day. He mainly deals with their essays and short stories, which were created before their major and well-known works.
As a big music fan, Heiner Lauterbach also connects to the musical storytellers who founded the blues and laid the foundation for today's
soul, rock, and pop music. The COLOGNE BLUES CLUB feat. Timo Gross provides the soundtrack
for a homage to "Storytellers" like Robert Johnson, Leadbelly, Son House, and others.
"Like a Hobo" is not an ordinary reading evening. Heiner Lauterbach presents a
show that brings together the giants of US literature with the country's great musicians
- a fascinating mix of "Spoken Word" and music.
