An evening with Gabriele Streichhahn and Ute Falkenau at the piano
I am twenty-seven years old as I write this. But I could also write: three years old, or: fifty thousand. I come from somewhere in the Mark. I am a Prussian. And my colors, which you know, are black and white. Black is the night, and white is the day. I am day and night.
Anyone who wants to accompany me for an hour is welcome.
Short self-biography of Alfred Henschke called Klabund
Born in Crossen an der Oder in 1890 and died in 1928, Alfred Henschke - known as KLABUND - was one of the leading German writers of his time.
His friends included Frank Wedekind and Gottfried Benn, Brecht used Klabund's "Chalk Circle" as the basis for his interpretation, and he was acquainted with Bloch and Hesse.
The cabaret "Schall und Rauch" became his artistic home.
