Nöstlinger - Rabenhof Theater

Rabenhof Theater, Wien

Of course, this calls for a grand celebration at the Gemeindebautheater. Stefanie Sargnagel and Gerald Votava will take the audience on a journey through the literary universe of an author who has shaped generations. To mark Christine Nöstlinger’s 90th birthday, the Gemeindebautheater is dedicating a reading evening to her work, in which Stefanie Sargnagel and Gerald Votava explore the literary world of an author who has shaped generations with her linguistic precision, subversive wit, and consistent critique of authority. The evening moves between literary appropriation and contemporary reinterpretation, allowing the audience to experience Nöstlinger’s texts as a humorous yet defiant exploration of childhood, power, and social reality. An encounter with a body of work that continues to unsettle, liberate, and remain as relevant as ever in its clarity—for connoisseurs, new readers, and anyone who wants to understand why this literature has lost none of its immediacy.
