"Ach, diese Lücke, diese entsetzliche Lücke" by Joachim Meyerhoff - Musikalisches Lesetheater: Von einem, der ausogog, Schauspieler zu werden - und bei den Großeltern einziehen.
Joachim Meyerhoff, one of the currently best actors on German stages, tells in this book about his years as a young adult. He is unexpectedly accepted at drama school in Munich and moves in with his grandparents in their upper-middle-class villa in Nymphenburg. He becomes a wanderer between worlds. His grandmother was an actress herself and is a dazzling diva, his grandfather is a philosophy professor emeritus, a stern and venerable figure. Their days are structured by adventurous rituals in which alcohol plays an essential role. The contrast between grandparental insanity and ego decay caused by education gives rise to grandiose stories about a helpless hero who discovers cracks, fissures and gaps everywhere. A brilliant reading pleasure!
