A Brecht Evening between Language Art and Music
With Now First (B)recht, an evening opens up in Fürth that not only reads literature but makes it audible. Oliver Karbus and Toni Burger will dedicate themselves to the work of Bertolt Brecht in the town hall courtyard on August 20, 2026 – an author who has shaped German theater of the 20th century like few others.
Hearing Brecht Anew
The evening focuses on the interplay of reading and music. Brecht's texts do not appear as museum exhibits, but as contemporary literature with a sharp profile: political, poetic, confrontational. It is precisely this approach that promises a reading atmosphere in which language, rhythm, and attitude intertwine.
A Classic with Friction
Brecht remains relevant because his plays and poems raise questions of war, power, morality, and social responsibility. Works like The Threepenny Opera, Mother Courage and Her Children, Galileo Galilei, or Baal are still part of the canon and showcase the literary quality of an author who inseparably combined dramatic form and critical perspective.
Oliver Karbus and Toni Burger in Dialogue
Oliver Karbus brings his acting experience, while Toni Burger adds to the evening with the power of the electric violin. This creates a literary experience that is not limited to recitation but convinces as an author encounter with musical tension. The format appeals to Brecht readers as well as theater lovers and culture-interested visitors.
The Venue: Town Hall Courtyard with Summer Openness
The town hall courtyard in Fürth provides the suitable setting for an evening that oscillates between intimacy and public discourse. Its central location by the town hall makes travel uncomplicated, and the atmosphere connects city life with cultural concentration.
Conclusion: Those who want to experience Brecht not just read, but in voice, sound, and attitude will find an evening with literary depth and special presence here. An invitation to all who want to experience literature live.
