Jens Wawrczeck reads from THE BIRDS

by Daphne du Maurier, filmed by Alfred Hitchcock.

Musical accompaniment on theremin:
Jan Peter Pflug

Jens Wawrczeck - the man who knew too much. At least so much about Alfred Hitchcock and his films that he can no longer keep it to himself!
The actor, singer and dubbing artist Jens Wawrczeck achieved cult status with his role as detective Peter Shaw in the radio play series "Die drei ???", which continues to this day. With the reading series "HITCH UND ICH" he is now fulfilling a dream. For his great passion is Alfred Hitchcock and the literature "behind the film". He must drag them into the light and unmask them: the invisible third parties - the novels and stories behind Hitchcock's film successes. Murderous, musical, multimedia. The program will be accompanied by live music.
A suspiciously exciting evening for Hitchcock fans, literature freaks, cineastes and all those notorious for their love of good entertainment and a perfect reading performance! Welcome to "HITCH AND ME!"

The Birds of Daphne du Maurier
England, on the coast. Farm laborer Nat Hocken notices a strange phenomenon: a large number of birds are gathering overhead and behaving extremely oddly. He attributes this to the sudden cold snap. But during the night, the birds also gather over his house and attack him. When he reports the incident the next day, no one takes him seriously. But then the BBC announces that huge flocks of birds are forming over the whole of England - a state of emergency is declared ...

This event takes place in connection with the exhibition "Aiga Rasch and the mysterious fortress"
