On Thursday 26 June at 6 pm, interested parties are invited to the Saxon Railway Museum Hilbersdorf, Frankenberger Straße 172. The Chemnitz City Library will be presenting a reading and music performance with Jaroslav Rudiš and Hans Narva entitled "Leselust Nachlese - Nächste Halt: Europa".
Admission to the event costs 8 euros, pupils and students have free admission. Tickets are available at the box office in the Saxon Railway Museum.
They still exist, the adventurers of the railway line! One of them is Jaroslav Rudiš, who comes from a Czech family of railwaymen and prefers to travel to his performances as an author and musician by train. What's more, he has made this decelerated and now very contemporary form of transport the subject of his texts. In his books Gebrauchsanweisung fürs Zugreisen and Zug um Zug durch Europa, he not only presents the best dining carriages, recommends the most beautiful night trains or reveals which station pub is a good place to while away the waiting time. The trained historian is also interested in what routes, trains and stops tell us about our shared history and present. And on his travels, he learns time and again how the international rail network holds Europe together.
Composer, singer and multi-instrumentalist Hans Narva proves that there is a lot of music in the beat of the points and perhaps even a bit of anarchy. Harmoniously embedded in the ambience of the railway museum, his performance enters into a crazy dialogue with the texts by Jaroslav Rudiš.
An event of the Leselus goes Europe literature festival, which is part of the Chemnitz 2025 European Capital of Culture programme. A joint project of Chemnitz City Library, Deutsches Kulturforum östliches Europa e. V. Potsdam and the Czech Centre Berlin, supported by the German-Czech Future Fund and the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Berlin.
