JOHANN SCHEERER

We are particularly looking forward to this reading: JOHANN SCHEERER – writer, musician and music producer – presents his new novel PLAY – a story that is as funny as it is touching, about juggling family, art and chaos. The story centres on David, the music manager of an eccentric, drug-addicted global superstar whom he has to accompany on tour. But he also wants to look after his four children – so, without further ado, he simply takes them with him. Amidst backstage drama and everyday family life, absurd, comical and yet profound moments unfold. With subtle humour, Scheerer explores feelings of being overwhelmed, closeness and the surprising similarities between artists and children. PLAY is a novel about the struggle for balance, escalation and the beauty found in chaos.
