U no einisch

A place of quiet, a place full of stillness - Beat Sterchi finds it in the midst of Venice, amidst the crowd of tourists. A whole place just for that! Venice has been described millions of times, but so vividly? That was still missing. Someone always has to be quiet, as it says in another spoken text, it’s about fondue, and of course it’s about more. In his second spoken script volume "U no einisch," Beat Sterchi gathers texts about travel, food, encounters, literature, and art. Stories are told about the Aare, about Henry Dunant and Robert Walser, about going to the market, or about what distinguishes a botanical garden from an allotment garden. That’s quite a lot. Sometimes someone simply stands up and sings a hymn: Here, hymns can be read about the incidental and the everyday. With enlightening wit, irony, and great storytelling.
