Robert Gernhardt in a scenic reading in Fürth: Satire with a fine bite
The Poet*ess Case brings Robert Gernhardt's The Trap as a scenic reading with music to the Kofferfabrik Fürth. The format combines literary precision with a direct reading atmosphere, where language, rhythm, and humor shape a lively stage event.
A classic of anti-Christmas literature
The narrative The Trap is one of Robert Gernhardt's early works and was published in 1966 in the satire magazine pardon. Gernhardt is regarded as one of the defining voices of contemporary German-language literature: poet, illustrator, satirist, essayist, and co-founder of Titanic. His oeuvre includes more than 50 books and is known for high comedy, linguistic accuracy, and literary quality.
What makes this reading special
The scenic reading with music, accompanied by coffee and cake, focuses on closeness rather than distance. This setting sharpens the perception of Gernhardt's irony, the comedic height, and the keen observational skill that makes his texts so worth reading to this day. Literature is not only read here, but experienced: with voice, timing, and an atmosphere that makes the satirical core of Gernhardt's prose immediately tangible.
The venue: Kofferfabrik as a cultural space
The Kofferfabrik has been part of the Fürth subculture scene for over 25 years and offers a characterful setting for literary events as a historic factory building. The green courtyard, the mix of cultural venue and meeting place, and good accessibility by subway make the evening a literary experience with urban flair.

For those who have not yet experienced him, this is a strong introduction to a body of work that uniquely combines satire, poetry, and contemporary observation.
