One of the most famous contemporary Polish writers, Olga Tokarczuk, will be reading from her newest novel “Drive your plough over the bones of the dead” on November 15th at Muffathalle. It will be her second visit of Munich. The first one was regarding the presentation of her critically acclaimed novel “Bieguni” (“The Runners”, German: “Unrast”).
“Drive your plough over the bones of the dead” combines the genre of the thriller drawing a dark vision from the world with the poetry of William Blake. We recommend an interview with the author by Justyna Sobolewska from “Polityka” (in English and Polish).

On November 4th the underground band “Selo i Ludy” from Charkov comes to the Desi Club in Nuremberg. The special project of Ukrainian musicians plays world-famous hits (e.g. Pretty Woman, I can’t get now satisfaction) as well as self created songs. Their folk music is lively and charming including a sense of humour, which is hardly found in show business otherwise.
The city of Charkov has recently become famous for being the origin town of numerous interesting and talented musicians. Every band is a new discovery having his own character and style. Come and see one of those talents on November 4th at the Desi! For a warm-up visit their website.

Dear friends of Ahoj Nachbarn,

– 15 years of Krakauer Haus in Nuremberg: the Krakauer Haus organizes since 15 years lots of events for promoting Polish culture in Nuremberg. To celebrate, it organizes several concerts (for example with Czesław Śpiewa) and exhibitions for this respected institution.
– From now on you can send your movies to one of the biggest film festivals of the East-European film Go East.
– Advance notice: On the 20th of October the Polish-German movie, WINTERTOCHER by Johannes Schmid, comes to theater.
If you know anything about events connected with East European culture in Bavaria, please let us know. We would be happy to publish them on our website.

You would like to take part in a film- and theatre project during the summer holidays? From August 1st – 15th sixteen young people from the Czech Republic and Germany will be gathering to make films together and to play on stage. We will dive into the story of the “white gold”: by shooting silent films and scenes in the porcelain museum of Selb. Following, we’ll travel to Horni Slavkok in the Czech Republic to do Site-Specific-Theatre in a porcelain factory, which has been closed since February. Therefor we’ll interview the former workers about what they are doing now and will invite spectators to our performance right in the abandoned factory.
