For a long time, C. Bernd Sucher was the newspaper’s chief theater critic, then he switched to the other side of the cultural scene, wrote even more books than before and invented the “Sucher’s Passions” lecture series, semi-staged evenings in which actors and singers performed and you could hear a lot of smart things about artists that seekers care about. stop passions. Years later, this series culminates in a festival in the Seeon Monastery’s cultural center: “Sucher’s Seeon Passions” will take place there from July 22nd to 30th.
At the opening, Albert Ostermaier will present his book of poems “Yuba” in the ballroom on July 22, accompanied by DJ Hell. The poems captivatingly capture the mood of Maya Mercer’s photographs – Yuba County is a stretch of northern California, a world of exclusion where the consequences of American racism are visible, portrayed by Ostermaier with harshness and a hint of hope.
In the days that followed, the actor Stefan Wilkening devoted himself to the “fullness of the euphony” chapter from Thomas Mann’s “Magic Mountain”, Sucher himself went into the world of music with singing students, there was a song recital with Julia Sophie Wagner and the pianist Ekaterina Tarnopolskaja , various other theatrical evenings and open-air cinema.
