Reinhold Messner Live - Über Leben

Description

Reinhold Messner is certainly the most famous adventurer and mountaineer of our time. In 2024, he celebrated his 80th birthday. Once again, he is going on an exclusive lecture tour. In his captivating live photo & film show, Reinhold Messner talks about the essence of his life experience and wrestles with concepts like courage, passion, and responsibility. Experience the person and adventurer Reinhold Messner live on a big stage! What does home smell like? How much freedom does a child need? How vital are fear, egoism, and instinct? Reinhold Messner sketches in his compelling multimedia lecture the journey from a South Tyrolean mountain boy to the greatest adventurer of our time.
With his uncompromising ascents of the highest mountains in the world, he achieved what was considered unattainable at the time. He pushed the boundaries of the possible and thus became the most famous alpinist of our time. In those expeditions, he experienced how survival works. As a boundary crosser, and with this experience, he also took the next milestones of his life. As a desert adventurer, politician, mountain farmer, director, and bestselling author, but also as the founder of a unique museum landscape, as well as a family man and father of four.
Vividly and visually powerful, he looks back on eight decades, which have been shaped early on by encounters with death and extreme natural experiences. Unvarnished, Reinhold Messner, whose curiosity remains unbroken, talks about the essences of his life and wrestles with concepts like courage, passion, and responsibility. He speaks about ambition and shame, nightmares and the inevitable aging, about new beginnings and the ability to let go in the end.
He says: "Whenever things got particularly difficult in my life, I went one step further than I would have without resistance and problems." Reinhold Messner has a fascinating presence when he reports on spectacular, often dangerous adventures on the highest mountains of the earth. His never-ending longing for his own limits, the highest peaks, and his fascination with their sublime beauty are reflected in the title of his new lecture "Über Leben". Experience the person and boundary crosser Reinhold Messner up close and live on stage!
