Actor Hannes Rittig reads short stories by the Brazilian author Luis Verissimo

The perennial favorite among our special formats: our reading series has been running for 14 years now in collaboration with the municipal libraries in Stralsund and Greifswald. Once a month in the historic cellar vaults of the libraries, members of our theater staff present books with which they feel personally connected and which they introduce to the audience in a specially compiled reading. Admission is free.

Actor Hannes Rittig reads short stories by the Brazilian author Luis Verissimo
Self-centered husbands who become devoted househusbands in their new partnership. Children who are tired of family harmony at home because they want to brag to their friends about the traumas caused by their parents' marital infidelities. A man whose perfectly planned fling fails by chance ... In his humorous short stories, Brazilian author Luis Fernando Verissimo reveals the pitfalls of everyday love with all the little white lies, well-intentioned excuses and everyday deceptions. With ironic commentary and delightful exaggeration, he scrutinizes the human weaknesses of the Brazilian middle class - and at the same time tells small comedies that span the globe.
