Bilingual reading by author, actor and director Steffen Mensching who will read from his novel Lustigs Flucht. Ernst Lustig, a 44 year old divorcee and unemployed literary scholar, is intrenched in a morbid crisis. Wanting to have nothing more to do with the world, he locks himself in his studio with the resolution not to emerge until he has overcome stagnation and completed his book on Schiller.
