What started as a highly successful series of readings titled “Meisterhaftes aus dem Berliner Dom” (Masterly works from Berlin Cathedral) is now returning as “Erlesene Literatur” (Exceptional Literature) and touring all of Germany. “The Human Stain” is a novel by Philip Roth, which tells the story of Coleman Silk, a professor of classics, who hits the headlines due to an alleged racist incident at his university.
The novel examines such topics as identity, prejudice and secrets.

Despite his many international successes, Klaus Maria Brandauer (“Out of Africa”, “James Bond – Never Say Never Again” and many more) has remained loyal to the stage to this day. In countless appearances, he has won over audiences with his special talent for making words, thoughts and feelings chime together. According to him, all you need to achieve this is craft, art and joyfulness. For the first time, Brandauer is now devoting himself to a contemporary, non-European author on stage by reading from Philip Roth’s highly topical novel “The Human Stain”. A mesmerising experience!
