An evening between stage myth and linguistic art in the Robert Schumann Hall

With Dúo! Word and Music, the Robert Schumann Hall invites you to a literary-musical encounter that condenses acting, storytelling, and sound into an elegant evening format. Johann von Bülow and Stefan Wilkening engage in a dialogue with Maria Reiter on accordion that not only entertains but also makes the profession of acting the subject of a wise, sensitive consideration.

When word and music question each other

Under the title No Hamlet Today – What You Always Wanted to Know About Actors, a reading atmosphere emerges that fluctuates between irony, self-observation, and theatrical presence. The two reciters tell, sing, and play stories from the world of theater and film. The literary quality of this format lies precisely in this: it connects narrative precision with the reflection space of an author encounter, even if this is not a classical author reading, but a performative stage reading at its center.

Maria Reiter sets the musical counterpoint

Maria Reiter complements the evening with her accordion not merely as accompaniment but as an independent voice. Her playing opens sound spaces that support, comment on, and deepen the spoken texts. Thus, a literary experience is created that lives from rhythmic tension, fine melancholy, and a touch of stage magic. The musical accompaniment gives the event that sensual density that makes musical-literary programs so attractive.
