Leipzig liest - Das kannst Du voll vergessen! Ein Demenz-Report

In the organizer's words:

You can forget all about it! A dementia report - satirical reading with André Kudernatsch

André Kudernatsch is actually a satirist and writes funny stories. But now he can't laugh anymore - almost. He wants to spend four weeks looking after his father, who suffers from dementia, even though he has absolutely no idea. He immediately ends up in an endless loop of sitting around, searching and arguing. He constantly hears that he used to be a pipe, is now a turd and will definitely be a good cook. One moment his father gives him 100 points, the next he reproaches him: "You've ruined my life."

Kudernatsch is overwhelmed. His mother, who could sort things out, is far away. She coughs at him - in the truest sense of the word. So he resorts to self-help and writes everything down. The result is a book about love, helplessness, the end of childhood and dealing with the illness.
