Stefan Jürgens - Call it Love - Culture.Summer.Semmering

In his first published poetry collection "Loveletters – Willful Love Outpourings," the celebrated actor, songwriter, and entertainer Stefan Jürgens presents himself as a hopeful romantic who boldly confronts the gender battles with the wonder of love. Here, love is celebrated and elevated to the highest formula for happiness — a breath of fresh air in often dark times and a nightlight of hope.

In his reading performance "Call it Love," Jürgens now allows all manifestations of love to pass before us. We feel its healing power as well as its destructive fury, revel in its uninhibitedness, and witness its willingness to sacrifice.

Here stands an artist on stage who is very familiar with the lows of everyday existence yet does not shy away from the grandest of emotions. His hymns to life touch and entice his audience towards optimism and zest for life.

Great poets of world literature show us the many faces of love, which could not be more different. Yet they all consistently testify to the same truth: Love is non-negotiable. And it cannot be confined by rules. It survives under the harshest conditions and cannot be subjected to coercion. Love defines us. It is all that matters.
