Nightmare Europe ([Alp]Traum Europa)

Together with international authors, actors and musicians, we travel through the light and shadow of this European night. We go through, listen + talk, drink + dream - until the sun rises. At the end we will have fried eggs and coffee. An experiment and experience for all who can't get enough!

Note: Spectators who cannot be present from the beginning have the possibility to join the reading night later. It is also possible to leave after each contribution. Snacks, drinks and disposable toothbrushes are available in the bar at cost price. There are also a few mattresses and blankets for the little break in between.
