Kersten Flenter: Schön war’s. Und schön wird’s gewesen sein.

In the organizer's words:

A literary-musical evening about the dubious pleasure of being human

Imagine it's the last day on earth and the person you are meets the person you always wanted to be - this results in hair-raising and strange anecdotes between what was and what could have been, between political madness and everyday grotesqueries. In more than 30 books of poetry and prose, Hanoverian author Kersten Flenter traces a humanity that is increasingly overwhelmed with itself and can no longer keep up with the pace it has set itself. The fruits of this search for clues are thought-provoking to heart-warming poems, stories from unusual perspectives and strange songs. Sometimes they make you pause, shudder, clench your fists and stroke your neighbor, but mostly they make you laugh. Because Mr. Flenter has a gentle flair for unusual perspectives, a penchant for grotesque dialogues and a pronounced affection for people with attitude. After all, we are not made for reality, but for love.
