Beschreibung
For years, Dan has been asking passers-by and fans in Berlin’s Mauerpark for three words, which he uses to compose poems spontaneously. In Berlin, the street poet is famous and successful, but instead of resting on his laurels and blowing all the coins he earns, he sets off again into the world … which, unfortunately, seems to be getting crazier all the time.
While Dan tries to delight passers-by in Hamburg, Munich, Prague and Gibraltar with his verses, he struggles with what these mystifying people are doing to themselves and the world.
This book is a unique mixture of life-inspired poetry, an autofictional travelogue, and, since all the world’s a stage, a look behind the scenes.
The street artist Dan K. Sigurd was born in 1990 in the city of Berlin, but he mainly grew up in Hamburg. In between numerous travels through Europe and the US, he studied film, politics and psychology at the Freie Universität as well as directing at the filmArche in Berlin. Cinematic adaptations of some of his short stories that he directed himself have won awards at a number of film festivals. He regularly performs his works at readings and has been writing poems for passers-by in the Mauerpark in Prenzlauer Berg for more than a decade now.
