Burning – Reading, talk and music with Daniel Donskoy
A breathtaking novel, a multi-talented artist, an evening of literature, life and music: Daniel Donskoy presents his debut novel Burning – a tender and unflinching story about friendship, loss and the search for home. Twelve years after a night in Tel Aviv that changed everything, the narrator begins writing to his childhood friend, Tyler. He writes about film sets in Russia, nights in Sicily, abysses and excesses, bizarre encounters and a quiet hope for connection. Written with intensity and warmth, Burning is a story of breaking out and returning home, of addiction, of pain – and of surviving in a world that often demands too much. Donskoy, who won the Grimme Award for his TV show “Freitagnacht Jews” [“Friday Night Jews”] and is known for his appearances in international series, is not only an actor and presenter but also a musician who will accompany this event with his own songs.
