Hermann Hesse, the Great Seeker - An Inner Biography in Words and Music

Scenic-musical reading with Vera Bauer (language and text conception) and David Goldzycher (violin). Rarely heard self-revelations from Hermann Hesse form the biographical framework of this portrait. With empathy and subtle self-irony, he recounts the conflicts in his parental home and school, the path to becoming a writer marked by emotional highs and lows, as well as his lifelong search for the 'own' - amidst a Europe reeling from one world war to the next. In conjunction with poems, letters, and an excerpt from a novel, Vera Bauer offers an unusual perspective on a dramatic artistic life, as well as on his assistance to people in need, which he provided throughout the decades. Multi-voiced, colorful music for violin condenses Hermann Hesse's word art into a compelling portrait of this writer and contemporary witness. Vera Bauer, raised in Stuttgart and a theater creator in Zurich, has been an independent voice in the free cultural scene for years. With her solo programs and ensemble productions, Vera Bauer brings the works and visions of authors, poets, and other influential personalities to the theater stage, church, and concert hall, see https://www.verabauer.ch/. David Goldzycher, raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was concertmaster of the Buenos Aires Radio Orchestra and a member of the first violins of the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich for over 30 years. He has engaged in intensive chamber music activities with the Freiburg Piano Trio, the Klee Quartet, and the Bartholdy Ensemble.
