A literary journey full of courage, sound, and discovery at the Nikolaisaal
With Solitary World Journey - Alma Karlin on March 7, 2027, a special evening awaits at the Nikolaisaal Potsdam: a reading with musical accompaniment that brings to life the adventure of an extraordinary woman. Sophie Rois reads from Alma Karlin's bestseller, while Martin Krause and Richard Putz create an intense event experience with drumming sounds from four continents.
Alma Karlin: A pioneer who crossed borders
Alma Karlin traveled alone around the world between 1919 and 1928 - at a time when it was neither common nor safe for women. Her observations, humor, and self-irony made Solitary World Journey a highly regarded book. This very mix of literary strength and biographical impact carries the evening in Potsdam.
Sophie Rois brings the language to life
Actress Sophie Rois is one of the defining voices and faces of German-language theater and has been awarded multiple times for her work. At the Nikolaisaal, her interpretation encounters a text that tells of departure, dangers, and wondrous worldviews. This creates a dense atmosphere among the audience, blending reading, theater, and concert.
Rhythm, atmosphere, and musical breadth
Martin Krause and Richard Putz set a sonic counterpoint to the narrative with percussion music. The percussion opens spaces, increases tension, and gives the historical journey a modern pulse. Those attending the evening experience not just a reading, but an artistic connection of literature, music, and high-level event planning.
The Nikolaisaal as a strong venue
The Nikolaisaal Potsdam at Wilhelm-Staab-Straße 10/11 is one of the central cultural addresses in the city. The venue is wheelchair accessible, offers an elevator for wheelchair users, and has limited paid parking options according to visitor information. Public transport is also recommended, as the central location makes visiting easier.
What visitors can expect that evening
The evening promises literary intensity, musical tension, and a special closeness to Alma Karlin's extraordinary life path. Anyone who is enthusiastic about readings, classical stages, cultural events, and historical narratives should experience this live at the Nikolaisaal Potsdam.
