In the Wichernsaal of the Diakonie, a dense reading atmosphere develops, where memories, personal texts, and the distinctive voice of the actress merge into an intense cultural experience.

The Woman Behind the Icon

Marlene Dietrich remains a figure of friction to this day: film star, chanson interpreter, cosmopolitan, diva, and uncompromising loner. Exactly these contradictions form the authority of her biography. Claudia Michelsen does not lead the audience into mere nostalgia, but into a literarily precise view of an artist who repeatedly eluded the grasp of her time.

Those who know Claudia Michelsen are aware of the special connection between acting and language art. Her readings thrive on clarity, rhythm, and a quiet intensity that lets every detail shine. From memories and personal texts arises a portrait that does not depict Marlene Dietrich as a museum figure, but as a modern, contradictory, and highly relevant personality.

The Wichernsaal provides the perfect setting for this literary experience: barrier-free, atmospheric, and close enough to capture every nuance of the reading. Tickets are regularly available for pre-sale, and free seating is provided, promising a concentrated evening between literature, theater, and cultural memory.
