Das Mosaik der Frauen – Ein Abend mit Rafik Schami
The Damascus-born storyteller marks his 80th birthday and bids farewell to the stage, presenting his novel in his famed free-telling style.
Why go
Rafik Schami, the great oriental storyteller of German-language literature, turns 80 and is saying goodbye to the stage with one last big evening. His editor Tatjana Michaelis and Manesse publisher Horst Lauinger speak about his work and friendship before Schami presents his novel Das Mosaik der Frauen, telling rather than reading, as only he does. Tickets cost 20 or 10 euros, a stream ticket 8 euros, and the foyer bar opens at 6pm.
