Stage icon Katharina Thalbach will read from Florian Illies’ book “Love in the Times of Hate” on Sunday, May 21, 2023 in the Distel Cabaret

Her grandiose voice is a mixture of grater and Berlin. So who better to read the great 1930s novel “Love in Times of Hate” than Katharina Thalbach (69)?

Author Florian Illies (51) wrote the virtuoso epoch painting 2021. In it he brings the 1930s to life and leads into the epoch of a political catastrophe: in Berlin, Paris, in Ticino and on the Riviera, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin, and F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, towards the dark times that lurk.
