"It only remains for me to thank her"- Uwe Johnson and Hannah Arendt: An introduction by Mr. Rainer Paasch-Beeck, Christian-Albrechts-University, Kiel

"When will there finally be peace in these crazy times?" - A literary-musical longing for peace between utopia and reality.

The actor and musician Moritz Stoepel uses texts by famous poets such as Luise Rinser, Hermann Hesse, Erich Fried, Rosa Luxemburg, Erich Kästner, Mascha Kaléko and others to create a poetic kaleidoscope on one of the most important topics in world history: peace!

Framed by international chansons and his own compositions, he poses the question: "What to do?" Where do I stand myself and how do I position myself in this difficult discussion?

The pithy texts of the evening are thought-provoking impulses for finding ways out of the dilemma, for determining one's own position and for developing perspectives, thoughts and theses.

Moritz Stoepel gives a memorable literary and musical interpretation! Experience an unforgettable evening with an unforgettable Moritz Stoepel!
