Joachim Meyerhoff is one of the best-known theatrical performers in the German-speaking world, delivering brilliant performances at the most renowned theaters. He has been named “Actor of the Year” three times. And he is a prize-winning author. His literary works include six splendid volumes so far. In his unmistakable tone, witty and existentially profound, he tells stories from his life: about growing up while on a student exchange in the USA, confronting the finite nature of human life (Ten green bottles...). His third volume, Oh, This Void, This Unspeakable Void, which has recently been adapted to film, was about his crises during acting school and the support of his odd but lovable grandparents. And latest bestseller, You Can Also Fall Upwards, is a moving homage to his mother, which also documents the challenges of a new beginning. Today, Joachim Meyerhoff presents a best-of sampling from his texts.
