A house that does not want to let go of its residents, and an old villa with a secret – the LeseLounge in November.
In "The Peacock Painting" by Maria Bidian, Ana boards the train to Romania two years after the sudden death of her father in the summer. Finally, her family is supposed to regain confiscated property. While the relatives – for very different reasons – are only interested in the legendary house, Ana wants to find one thing above all: the peacock painting, a family heirloom that her father spoke of so often.
Miriam Böttger, journalist for ZDF, narrates in her debut novel "Out of the House" cynically, humorously, and lovingly about a house that has long assumed power over its residents. When the parents of the narrator finally want to leave the house after decades – after all, it seems to be responsible for all the misfortune – the planned move only escalates the familial chaos further.
The evening will be musically framed by Avocadokartell – a versatile fusion band from Kiel that combines various genres such as jazz, funk, rock, and pop. For example, synths and guitar sound beautifully together with trumpet.
Entry: 6,– plus advance sales fee
