Meike Rötzer recounts Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain


Meike Rötzer takes us into the dizzying world of The Magic Mountain. What begins as a three-week visit to a Swiss sanatorium becomes, for Hans Castorp, a seven-year journey into the depths of the European soul. In her storytelling performance, Meike Rötzer brings Thomas Mann’s landmark novel to life in a fascinating way. With subtle humor and a sharp sense of selection, Rötzer recreates the Berghof as a microcosm of a society teetering on the brink of war – from the heated debates between the humanist Settembrini and the cynic Naphta, to the unfulfilled passion for the enigmatic Madame Chauchat, and the mysterious sessions with Dr. Krokowski. She captures this universe in a gripping and condensed experience.
