“There is one virtue that I love dearly. It is called obstinacy,” Hermann Hesse once wrote. Inspired by this, this evening is dedicated to the often-maligned quality of obstinacy, explored from unusual perspectives—melancholic, humorous, profound, and whimsical.

Eigensinn – musikalische Lesung mit Kerstin Reimann & Bertolt Karsten Troyke
Texts by Hermann Hesse, Paul Watzlawick, Langston Hughes, and others—surprisingly relevant and, indeed, headstrong. Recited and sung by actress Kerstin Reimann and Bertolt Karsten Troyke—the well-known singer of many Jewish songs. He will perform, among other things, poems by Selma Meerbaum-Eisinger and Hermann Hesse set to music by him—as well as new songs of his own.
The duo also set poetry by the Berlin poet Andreas Koziol to music for this program.
