Daniel Kehlmann: Afrika

At Berliner Ensemble

Mitte, Berlin

Visitors note the historic atmosphere of the venue, though some mention the auditorium can get warm during packed events.
Reviewers recommend exploring the historic theater spaces when attending performances here.

Against the backdrop of the 1884 Berlin Conference, a desperate Austrian negotiator tries to conceal personal fraud while helping carve up a continent. Daniel Kehlmann reads from his dark comic novel Afrika at the Berliner Ensemble.
