The Kulturtheater Tutzing warmly invites literature enthusiasts and anyone seeking pre-Christmas cheer to a special performance of Truman Capote's ,,Weihnachtserinnerungen" (Christmas Memories). Actor Alexander Netschajew will present this touching piece, accompanied musically by the duo Key for Two.

Join us for an evening that beautifully intertwines literature and music. The spotlight is on Capote's sensitive, autobiographical story, a timeless homage to friendship, generosity, and the importance of human connections. Immerse yourself in Capote's loving and humorous recollections of the Christmas season!

The narrative revolves around Capote's childhood in the Southern United States during the 1930s and the profound friendship between the seven-year-old narrator (Capote himself) and his warm-hearted, slightly eccentric cousin. A central ritual involves baking countless fruitcakes for friends, acquaintances, and strangers alike. These nostalgic, humorous, and bittersweet moments bring the true spirit of Christmas to the forefront.

The musical duo Key for Two, comprising Tabea Mara and Sophie Sperber, will enrich the experience with spirituals, gospels, and classic American Christmas songs, creating a delightful backdrop for this special Christmas reading featuring actor, director, and former artistic director Alexander Netschajew. As noted by the Süddeutsche Zeitung, "There are many Christmas memories that bring joy yet carry a hint of sadness. However, Truman Capote's ,Weihnachtserinnerungen' stands out for its ability to warm the heart."

This event, taking place on the eve of Advent, serves as a reminder amidst a hectic world about what truly matters: humanity, gratitude, and shared experiences. Join us at the Kulturtheater for a reflective evening that touches both heart and soul!
