About the Concert

She is one of the most significant voices in contemporary German literature and at the same time an important voice from Georgia. Nino Haratischwili fills large halls when she reads from her novels – not only because she establishes immediate contact with the audience through her open and approachable manner, but also because her books appeal to a wide readership. <br>Her international breakthrough came with the epic "The Eighth Life (For Brilka)". Her subsequent novels, including "My Gentle Twin", "The Cat and the General", as well as "The Lack of Light", are characterised by a powerful language and an intense engagement with history and identity. As part of our Georgia focus, she will read exclusively for the Dresden audience for the first time excerpts from "The Foreign Paradises", her upcoming latest novel, which could hardly fit better with the motto of our season. <br><br>At the invitation of the Dresden Philharmonic<br>In collaboration with the City Libraries of Dresden<br>
