Neukölln Blues

He reads selected episodes from his book “Kreisverkehr”—sometimes thoughtful, sometimes humorous, always true to life.

His texts paint an authentic picture of everyday life, change, and encounters, shaped by personal experiences and a keen eye for the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Accompanied by his guitar, Kalle Kalkowski also performs his own songs. In them, he tells of his life in Neukölln and the surrounding area—honestly, directly, and with a tone all his own that oscillates between melancholy and lightheartedness.

The result is a varied evening where literature and music intertwine naturally, taking the audience on a personal journey.

An experience for everyone who loves the stories life writes—and the songs that tell them.
