Lesung mit Jaqueline Scheiber

In the organizer's words:

Author, social worker and podcaster Jaqueline Scheiber is coming to Berlin to read from her novel "dreimeterdreißig" on 20.02.2025 on the Buchbox stage at the Colosseum.

A mismatched couple, an old apartment and a night that changes everything. A painful and beautiful book about love, life and what remains. Three meters thirty, that's how high the walls are in the old Viennese apartment where Klara and Balázs live. Between creaking parquet flooring and wide-open double doors, they are in the process of building a life together. But one night everything changes, Balázs lies motionless in the bed they share and a race against time begins. What remains of a love when a life ends? Who are you when you have left your home country and speak a foreign language? Does the story count - or perhaps just a coffee cup in the sink, a last look in the mirror? And when all that slips away, can you stop time?

An intense, visually rich chamber play that delves deep into the existential questions of life, tells of love and the inability to lose it. A book that grounds you and at the same time makes you feel weightless.
