A classic, freely retold in 100 minutes.
An exceptional evening for everyone aged 15 to 105.
Hans Castorp spends seven years in the sanatorium, withdrawn from the world into the philosophical heights and the depths of human attraction and repulsion in Thomas Mann’s epochal novel The Magic Mountain. Meike Rötzer, founder of the "Erzählbuchverlag," achieves the impossible: she narrates the entire masterpiece in one evening-a spectacular theater experience for the ears, an educational journey to the era before World War I, and a parable about the seductive power of apocalyptic visions. At the same time, it’s a journey of discovery: What does the text reveal about a present marked by crises and tipping points?
