Matthias Matschke POESIEFESTIVAL 2022

Matschke can do subtle horror - not only since his ingenious embodiment of "Professor T." in the ZDF crime series of the same name. After rousing festival readings of Shelley's "Frankenstein" and Poe's "Uncanny Stories", Matschke now logically completes his trilogy of fantastic horror with a masterpiece of this genre: Bram Stoker's "Dracula". How Matschke slips into the role of the blood-sucking Romanian vampire count and his British Victorian hunter Jonathan Harker and unfolds the horror of the eerie scenarios between the lines is truly in a class of its own.
