A kaleidoscope of texts about Viennese coffee house literature with Jürgen Wegscheider
The actor Jürgen Wegscheider invites you to a "literary melange" about Viennese coffee house literature.
People meet in coffee houses for a "Melange", an "Verlängerter" or simply for a chat. The coffee house often serves as a second living room, where people sometimes spend hours with friends or alone with a newspaper.
Austrian writers such as Peter Altenberg, Arthur Schnitzler, Hermann Bahr, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Karl Kraus, Anton Kuh, Franz Werfel, Egon Friedell and Alexander Roda Roda were among the regulars at Viennese coffee houses. The actor Jürgen Wegscheider, himself a native Austrian, knows coffee house culture like no other! You can look forward to literary gems and selected pieces from the works of Viennese coffee house writers.
Jürgen Wegscheider has performed at theaters in Frankfurt/Main, Munich and Essen and has toured regularly. He travels throughout Germany, Austria and Switzerland with his mainly literary-cabaret programs.
You are cordially invited to listen to this "literary melange" over a cup of coffee.
