»Dorfgeschichten« Ein Abend mit Udo Wachtveitl

ON THE 132ND BIRTHDAY OF OSKAR MARIA GRAF
Music: "Hafner & Loibl"

Oskar Maria Graf (born 1894 in Berg am Starnberger See, died 1967 in New York), a rebellious Bavarian and citizen of the world, was a storyteller with an incorruptible view of people. To mark his 132nd birthday, Udo Wachtveitl, long-time Munich Tatort detective and one of the most distinguished speakers of Bavarian literature, reads village stories by Oskar Maria Graf. We hear Graf's descriptions of the shift to the right in the village from the novel "Unruhe um einen Friedfertigen" as well as stories about farmers and innkeepers, outsiders and rebels - about humanity and human abysses. Maria Hafner and Theresa Loibl accompany the reading with songs of love, longing and death - favorite songs collected on journeys, eavesdropped on by street bands, in pubs, around campfires or from old shellac records. An evening full of wit, resistance and Bavarian eloquence. Congratulations, Oskar Maria Graf!
