Vienna – In the past five days, it was tight in Klagenfurt. For example, in the public gallery in the theater of the ORF regional studios. More than 150 spectators each reading did not miss the live atmosphere, just five minutes after intake no more seats were to get hold of. No media representatives belonged to the rearmost row of seats.
“Are you press”, want the already cunningly convert between strangers nikotinausdünstenden shoulders and bare, plump, pinning up in shorts and below in raised black socks editor legs pinning an illegitimate court taking the later- and thus already latecomers. “Yes, I am!”, So the response of the Babyface-STANDARD editor. “He says he’s from the press” doubtful, repeat the disappointed opposite.
Since yesterday is but once again past. The literary event itself and also the jury chairman Hubert Winkels – despite TV broadcast, shoulder bags and a loyal fan base of Bachmann tourists – may like to not see it as such, has launched its 39th well behind. Also they drawn by the organizers of the savings made as pin not upset the “budget” bill. Were there just “only” Liptauerbrot and pasta – what the heck; Finally, the assembled crowd was literature actually not to eat in the dragon city!
TV, not only for the ears
14 authors to read three days had to be overcome respectively enjoy. Sometimes, however, one could imagine in between the lectures in a short film competition, designed to elaborate the video portraits have included Valerie Fritsch, Peter Truschner and Teresa Präauer. A trend, as angle recognizes. About the evaluation of such a “Gesamtkunstwerk” of presentation video, performance and sheet text the jury will probably still need to think in the next few years.
Last but not least, because this year the Swiss-German Ex-poetry slammer Nora Gomringer a text won the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize (25,000 euros), which functioned much about his presentation.
Search is the nominee of Neo-juror Sandra Kegel polyphonic near-radio play about the investigation of a writer in a block of apartments to suicide of a boy. It leads before, like someone who is looking to make an accomplice, so Juror Juri Steiner.
Otherwise, dominated the competition mainly classical prose. And that had a good year. The density of potential winners is as high as long, it swept in advance by the feature leaves. At the end of the thematically determined by family and relationships in general, a better world, and most recently also contemporary history in the mirror of individual biographies Lesetage five authors and a (? Quota -) came man for three of the seven-member jury prizes in question
.
Many suspects Price
The Nora Gomringer unsuccessful in the first ballot Austrian Teresa Präauer slipped due to the reformed, sometimes seemingly absurd tuning mode automatically into the jump-off for the second prize, where they had to be fought but compatriot Valerie Fritsch. In addition to the Kelag Prize (10,000 euros) that was for your text over an amputee father and then even the BKS Bank Audience Award won by his son (7000 EUR) for themselves – and the Grazer Neo-Juror Klaus Kastberger which takes you to had sent race so probably make quite happy.
For Präauer and its yesterday universally acclaimed entertainment text it worked finally in the third attempt by the 3sat Prize (7,500 euros) not. The Swiss went to the Dana Grigorcea. The Ernst Willner Prize, the fourth so far determined by the judges profit is no longer awarded for this year.
reading competition in the mid-life crisis?
The enriched by three new judges by the way did a solid job. That she is not infallible, as the angle was granted on the first day to calm the antretenden authors, however, they proved to this community. Insufficient interest you seemed to develop some of the texts of Ronja Rönnes or falconer to little criticism for those of Fritsch and Präauer. For brand KIGE sayings and discussion joyful statement was definitely vest pockets (book) -Rambo Kastberger thanked.
If not, in view of the 40th anniversary of the betting reading on the Wörthersee in the coming year, according to the relevance desselbigen asking. From ORF angedachte midlife crisis panic to increase the event factor this year could be averted once more. We can only hope that this will remain so in the coming years, because ultimately applies here a simple rule: good texts, (almost) everything good! (Michael Wurmitzer, 07/05/2015)
