Axel Hacke in Fürth: An evening about feelings, language, and the art of light-heartedness

In the venerable Stadttheater Fürth, Axel Hacke unfolds the reading atmosphere that has characterized his performances for years: precise observation, clever linguistic artistry, humane warmth. From his new book 'How do you feel? About our inner lives in times like these' he reads passages that explore our current emotions – a literary experience between seriousness and lightness.

Between feeling and reason: literary explorations

Hacke connects narratives of everyday life with a broader cultural discourse: How do emotions shape our society? What roles do fear, anger, connection, and joy of life play? In a fluid style, he opens thought spaces – without pathos, with gentle irony, always committed to the tone of an author-meeting.

Linguistic art with attitude

Known from his column in the magazine of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, Hacke continues the art of fine observation. Pointed miniatures, precise images, rhythm, and pauses create an intimate atmosphere. Thus arises that mixture of lightness and depth that characterizes his literary quality.

Work, bio, significance

Hacke's books are bestsellers; his reports and columns have received numerous awards. With the new volume, published by DuMont, he turns his gaze inward – an invitation to think about feelings and reason together and to clarify linguistically what moves us.

Voices of readers

The reactions of readers are clear: Axel Hacke delights literature lovers with his work.

Instagram: A reader writes: 'Can't wait to experience him live in Stadttheater – clever, warmhearted, witty!'

Conclusion

Expect a clever, light-hearted, and contemplative evening: linguistic art that comforts and sharpens, and an author-meeting that resonates long afterwards. Experience Axel Hacke live – and take impulses for your own inner life with you.
