In the organizer's words:

according to Saša Stanišić

"'Origin' is a book about a village in which only thirteen people still live, a country that no longer exists, a fragmented family that is mine. 'Herkunft' is a book about my homelands, in memory and invention. A book about language and shame, arriving and coming to terms, happiness and death."

Saša Stanišić lived in Heidelberg from 1992 to 2004, as a teenager he lived in Emmertsgrund and attended the International Comprehensive School in Heidelberg. He also recounts this time in his novel, for which he was awarded the German Book Prize in 2019: He describes growing up in Germany in the face of the wars in the Balkans in the 1990s. After several successful stage adaptations, "Origin" is now finally conquering the big stage of the Heidelberg Theater and Orchestra.

Recommended for ages 15 and up.
