"The Walk" – An Evening Dedicated to Robert Walser

on the 70th anniversary of his death.

"I am, however, poor, and I have never lacked for failure to this day, but life can be lovely even without success." — "The Walk"

Georg Schwark – Reading and Flugelhorn

A playful cheerfulness is characteristic of Robert Walser’s texts, though it is often underpinned by tangible existential fears. Many works, especially the early ones, seem naive and playful at first reading. Yet behind this supposed simplicity and spontaneity lie very modern, precise observations of everyday life.
