Burning – Reading, talk and music with Daniel Donskoy
An addictive novel, a multi-talented artist, an evening of literature, life and music: Daniel Donskoy presents his literary debut, Brennen [“Burning”] – a feverish, tender and brutally open story about friendship, loss and the search for belonging. Twelve years after a night in Tel Aviv that changed everything, the narrator begins writing to his childhood friend, Tyler. He talks of film sets in Russia, nights in Sicily, dark depths and wild extremes, bizarre encounters and a quiet hope of connection. With intensity and warmth, “Brennen” is a story of breaking out and returning home, of addiction, of pain – and of surviving in a world that often demands too much. Donskoy, who won the Grimme Award for his TV show “Freitagnacht Jews” [“Friday Night Jews”] and is known for international series productions, is not only an actor and presenter, but also a musician who will accompany this event with his own songs. Host: Samira El Ouassil
