An Evening Between Water, Words, and Perception

Here, the Oker is not just a backdrop but part of the dramaturgy. As the boat departs from the dock, language, voice, and atmosphere take center stage. The performance thrives on its closeness to the text and the special reading atmosphere, which feels much more immediate on a raft or barge than in a traditional hall. This is precisely the allure of this literary trip: the location tells its own story.

Suspense, Satire, and Fantastic Stories

The program focuses on a mix of classic murder stories, humorous entertainment, and eerie materials. According to the event description, among the performers are Thomas Ostwald, Armin Rütters, Helga Thiele-Messow, Lutz Tantow, Julia Jorges, Till Burgwächter, and Axel Klingenberg; hair-raising, satirical, and fantastic contributions are announced. This results in a literary diversity that expands the genre of reading far beyond mere presentation.
