With “Like a Hobo,” Heiner Lauterbach presents an extraordinary evening that blends literature and music. The star actor explores the literary DNA of the United States, bringing the works of great American storytellers to the stage.

The focus is on authors such as Mark Twain, John Steinbeck, William Faulkner, Truman Capote, O. Henry, Jack London, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Their stories speak of freedom and new beginnings, of outsiders, longing, social upheaval, and the unique narrative power of American literature.

Heiner Lauterbach is accompanied by the Cologne Blues Club feat. Timo Gross. The band provides the musical soundtrack for the evening and bridges the gap to the great storytellers of blues, folk, and roots music. This creates a connection between the spoken word and music, between literary history and the American way of life.

“Like a Hobo” is not a traditional reading evening, but a blend of spoken word and concert. An atmospheric evening for anyone who wants to experience great stories, powerful voices, and handmade music.
