VAMPIRES: Halloween with Ulrike Ottinger, Irm Hermann, Laurence Rickels and Eric Steinhauer

 

Information

The Vampire is, without any doubt, part of the pool of psychological projections, but what is the link to libraries, cabinets of wonders, vegetarianism and Vienna? All of these questions and many more will be pursued during this transatlantic night of vampires. Our guests are Prof. Dr. Laurence Rickels, publisher of "Vampire Lectures", and Prof. Dr. Eric Steinhauer, author of "Vampyrologie für Bibliothekare". Irm Hermann and others will read from the - so far - unpublished screenplay "Die Blutgräfin" by Ulrike Ottinger and Elfriede Jelinek, and Laurence Rickels’ short "Spout" will proof one more time: "once you go with a vampire there is no going back!"

This event is not recommended for children under 12 years of age.
