Intellectual sharpness meets stage proximity: Gregor Gysi at the Coburg Rosengarten

An evening for mind and conversation: Gregor Gysi comes to Coburg with his book project A Currywurst with Gregor Gysi. In the reading atmosphere of the Rosengarten Congress Center, he combines pointed passages with a lively discussion about politics, biography, and literature – a literary experience with author encounter.

Language, voice, a spirit for debate

Gysi reads, narrates, responds. With precise linguistic art and dry humor, he leads through themes spanning peace and football, citizen's income and utopias. The focus is on the art of the short form: dialogical miniatures that reveal the narratives of our present while entertaining.

From book to stage moment

The conversations that journalist Hans-Dieter Schütt had with Gysi on reading tours serve as material for the stage. Chitchat and political programming appear in colorful liaison – close to the audience, in an intimate atmosphere that allows for controversy and rewards reflection.

Context in the literary scene

Gysi is a lawyer, author, and one of the defining voices of recent German history. In addition to his autobiography A Life is Too Little, he has presented essayistic and dialogical works that connect literary quality with social analysis. This reading positions itself at the intersection of political speech, conversation book, and stage literature.
