Lesung: Dennis Gastmann liest "Orient Express" auf der Sommerbühne vor dem Stadttheater

In the organizer's words:

Following in the footsteps of Agatha Christie and Detective Poirot, someone is going on another long journey: Dennis Gastmann travels from Paris to Istanbul in the footsteps of the Orient Express: five thousand kilometers, seventeen cities and countless detours into adventure. A portrait of a continent in upheaval, on the move - wild, intense and full to bursting.Gastmann finds himself in the spotlight at Paris Fashion Week, stays with a nonna who cooks for him like her own son, and learns from a gondoliera how to understand the city on the water. Gastmann pets the lions of an oligarch from the Little Carpathians - and is almost fed to the tigers. He bathes in fire, fog and laser light in the world's largest noodle soup, as the Hungarians joke, and meets a flower girl in the middle of a mountain of garbage in a Bulgarian slum. Gastmann experiences Europe - sometimes on the express train, sometimes on the slow train, sometimes on the bus through the villages when the tracks end. From the Gare de L'Est to Venice, Trieste to Budapest, Belgrade to Sofia, until the doors of the Orient open before his eyes. And he senses the changes of time everywhere. What is the state of our continent, of the European dream?
