In this multimedia reading, Ann Esswein and Sebastian van Vugt take us back to the time of the first time, between 15-18, when everything is changing, bristling, exhausting and incredibly exciting and everything is happening at the same time. It smells of AXE Alaska and Impulse Vanilla, the anti-shock discman spins mix CDs with sad love songs that warm the first broken hearts. Their novels "Jahre ohne Sprache" (Ecco) and "Die Zukunft hat Heimweh nach der Jugend", from which they will read, are also set in this period.
It is an evening of visual, musical and literary backflash to the teenage years with songs from the early 2000s. And there will be karaoke at the end. An evening about growing up. Personal, nostalgic and open.
