Blutbuch

In the organizer's words:

In many ways, Kim de l'Horizon has written one of the most important books of recent years: "With enormous creative energy, the non-binary narrative figure in Blutbuch searches for her own language. What narratives are there for a body that defies conventional notions of gender? The fixed point of the narrative is her own grandmother, the 'Großmeer' in Bernese German, in whose ocean the child Kim threatened to drown and from which she now swims free by writing." With these words, the jury awarded the 2022 German Book Prize, the most important award for German-language literature, to Kim de l'Horizon.
Kim de l'Horizon (*2666 on Gethen) tried to gain attention by winning prizes for young writers. Today, however, Kim has had enough of the "I" and is studying witchcraft at Starhawk and transdisciplinarity at the Zurich University of the Arts.
Jan Friedrich (*1992 in Lutherstadt Eisleben) works at Schauspiel Hannover, Theater Oberhausen, Staatstheater Mainz and Kassel as well as Schauburg München. In 2017, he was nominated for the German theater prize DER FAUST .

Our production Blutbuch won the audience award at the Radikal jung 2024 festival at the Munich Volkstheater! This is the second time (after Woyzeck 2023) that Theater Magdeburg and director Jan Friedrich have been guests at this renowned annual showcase.
