A Poetic Evening Between Farewell and Departure

With I Was a Human, Katharina Schlender invites you to a scenically-installative reading that brings present, memory, and future into a delicate, shocking dialogue. The text paints a dystopian-fanciful vision while remaining close to life: a literary encounter that tells melancholically, precisely, and surprisingly tenderly about being human.

Literary Tension in the Space of the Future

Schlender's language unfolds its impact not through effects, but through inner movement. The piece contemplates life at the moment of its upheaval: a poetic space where fragility, hope, and understanding collide. Those seeking contemporary drama, literary quality, and a reading atmosphere with depth will experience an evening of rare intensity here.

Between Beckett's Spirit and a Declaration of Love for Life

The production takes on the spirit of Samuel Beckett's Not I and transforms it into a contemporary, language-sensitive theater experience. Memories, self-examination, and the tentative rediscovery of dignity condense into an author-encounter in the best sense: intellectual, sensual, and with great emotional presence. The literary discourse remains tangible while never losing its poetry.

An Evening for Readers, Theater Lovers, and Literary People

In the small theater - KAMMERSPIELE Landshut, dramaturgical concentration meets intimate spatial effect. The scenically-installative reading opens a quiet, concentrated view of what remains when certainties give way. This is where the strength of this evening lies: it invites you to reconsider your own relationship with memory, lifetime, and future.

Conclusion: Those who love literary stage form, poetic language, and a thoughtful view of being human should not miss this date. I Was a Human promises a moving evening full of linguistic artistry, resounding images, and quiet intensity - it unfolds its full power live on site.
