20,000 Leagues under the Sea Graphic Novel concert in Cologne

March 04th, 4:00 pm, Volksbühne am Rudolfplatz, Aachener Straße 5, 50674 Cologne

We continue the spring event season with a new reading concert of my graphic novel 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA (Carlsen Comics)! On Saturday, March 4th, at 4 p.m., the musician Jörg Walter and I will be giving a musical reading as part of the lit.kid.COLOGNE in the wonderful Volksbühne am Rudolfplatz in Cologne!
At this event, we’ll take you on a fantastic underwater ‘world tour’ based on my adaption of Jules Vernes beloved classic: while the images from the graphic novel are playing before your eyes, I will read excerpts from the comic to live music improvisations by Jörg and we’ll let the adventures of Captain Nemo and his passengers come alive for you! Afterwards I give a small report about how I worked on the graphic novel and by that give you insight into the work of a comic book artist, and I am happy to sign copies of the book, if there is still time afterwards when coming down from the stage :).
So off to Cologne on the Rhine next week! Admission costs are € 6.50 in advanced ticket sales and € 8 at the box office.

So come to Frohnau on February 19th – to our musical reading under the sea! Admission is free, but the parish will be happy about donations: In the Corona time, they maintained their usual extensive program of events with great effort, but stepped away from entrance fees, which is why the coffers of this church are not too full either.

On October 11, the musician Jörg Walter and I will give a musical reading of my 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA graphic novel! This time in the great Heinrich Schulz library in the imposing town hall of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf in Berlin.

We let the adventures of Captain Nemo and its passengers come alive for you, and the musical improvisations follow leitmotifs for Nemo, Arronax, Conseil and Ned Land (the fabled harpooner :), as well as the sea itself!

Afterwards I will give a small report (with pictures) about how I worked on the graphic novel and give insights into the work of a comic artist, and I would be happy to sign your copies of the book if you bring them. So come, everyone, on October 11th, at 7:30 p.m. to Otto-Suhr-Allee 96 (the venue) & let us enchant you and take you on an adventurous journey under the sea!
