A new graphic novel concert reading coming up on the Pfälzer Comicsalon!
We developed a new show based on my graphic novel adaptation of THE TIME MACHINE (from the famous classic by H. G. Wells) out from Carlsen Comics on September 1st, and will be premiering it at the 4th Pfälzer Comicsalon in Gönnheim on July 6th! It’s kind of a prerelease-show, a few months before the actual book comes out. And we are thrilled!
In this reading performance with music, we take you – quite literally – back to the future on a journey through time: Henry is a gifted inventor. But he also feels lonely and mourns a lost love. Since he seem to cannot find happiness in the rigid England of the late 19th century and to win that lost love back, he builds a time machine that allows him to travel through time. However, this journey takes him somewhere other than he expected, and he soon finds himself in the distant future, where society has split into the gentle Eloi and the dangerous Morlocks…
As I read scenes from the graphic novel, Jörg Walter accompanies the performance with specially composed musical motifs played on a historic concert harmonium, making Henry’s journey a tangible, visceral experience.
To ensure the audience gets more than this musical reading and pre-glimpse into the book, we are bringing along large-format flyers featuring a scene from the story – exclusive preview material available initially only at the Pfälzer Comicsalon!
Don’t miss out on this special treat! We look forward to seeing you in just over one week at the 4th Pfälzer Comicsalon in Gönnheim!
