150 Years of Thomas Mann: The Buddenbrooks – The Rise and Fall of a Merchant Family

The narrative performer Meike Rötzer puts the Nobel Prize-winning work with all its protagonists on stage.

BüHNE | READING

When Thomas Mann began writing his family epic at the age of 22, he had no idea that he would receive the Nobel Prize for his first work only a few years after its publication. The sensation he causes in the world also shakes up his hometown in Lübeck: In the list borrowed from a bookstore, citizens nervously check: Will I be in it? Above all: How?

Today we can take part in the imperceptibly creeping decline of an upper-middle-class family over four generations much more calmly. And before our eyes, a world sinks with all its worries, hardships and hilariously entangled protagonists entangled in moral concepts.

The actress Meike Rötzer tells dramas and novels, world literature for the eardrums. This is theatre for the ears and an enjoyable key, a true lockpick to the material of world literature. A message to our cultural memory before writing. After the great success of "Zauberberg" now "Die Buddenbrooks" - just don't miss it.

With Meike Rötzer's narrative performance, the Kulturplatz celebrates the birthday of Nobel Prize winner for literature Thomas Mann, who would have turned 150 on 06.06.2025.
