The miner’s wife who ate baklava with her Turkish neighbor – Pegah Ferydoni, Dietmar Bär and Thomas Böhm on the diversity of the Ruhr region
Did you know that a Turkish author has written a trilogy of novels about Duisburg? Have you come across the novel about a Polish family that is similar to “Buddenbrooks” and features the founding of soccer team Borussia Dortmund? Have you heard of the impressive Syrian wordsmith who writes poems in Wanne-Eickel? Or the author who came to the Ruhr region from an Anatolian village, learned German from Grimms’ fairytales and whose novel “Einmal Hans mit scharfer Soße” [“Hans with Hot Sauce”] has been made into a movie? The Ruhr region simply is and will always be diverse – also in literature. Actors Pegah Ferydoni and Dietmar Bär and author Thomas Böhm investigate this diversity in anecdotes, stories and poems. A revue with surprising, emotional, entertaining texts and curiosities by Hatice Akyün, Lina Atfah, Fakir Baykurt, Ilse Kibgis, Anna Seghers, Birgitta M. Schulte and others. Concept: Thomas Böhm
