»Die Band, die keiner kennt«
Who are they? Four figures in patent leather boots, rings and chains, hard to understand – never seen here before. Hair like grass, tailored suit, fur on the face – we don't know them. While the locals are still pondering, the strangers unpack their bags, build strange things together, and suddenly it's clear: The ones nobody knows here, that's a band! Off-key notes, complicated tempo, nobody in rhythm, lyrics without meaning – everyone wants to join in! A clear message to every band that (still) nobody knows: Just get started and have fun with those you meet!
The award-winning author and illustrator Nadia Budde invites you to an interactive reading with animation and music: "Die Band, die keiner kennt" will be read, musically staged, partially shown as an animated film, and playfully continued with the children.
About the artist: Nadia Budde, born in 1967 in Berlin, worked as a graphic designer before studying graphic design at the Kunsthochschule Berlin Weissensee and the Royal College of Art in London. Her very first picture book "Eins zwei drei Tier" (1999, Peter Hammer Verlag) was awarded the German Children’s Literature Prize and the Oldenburg Children’s and Youth Book Prize. "Trauriger Tiger toastet Tomaten" (2000) received the Troisdorfer Picture Book Prize and the Luchs award from the jury of ZEIT and Radio Bremen. The comic biography "Such dir was aus, aber beeil dich" (2009, Fischer Schatzinsel) was awarded the German Children’s Literature Prize and the Max und Moritz Prize for best comic for children. In 2013, Nadia Budde won the Hans-Meid Prize for book illustration, and in 2017 she was nominated for the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award. Her books have been translated into many languages.
The reading takes place in cooperation with the German Academy for Language and Literature as part of the poetry recommendations. We thank you for the financial support.
