Bin vollendet: Lesung mit elektronischen Klängen und Samples

In the organizer's words:

The symphonic drama "Keiner Lippen Winter schweigt. Zweischneidiges Selbst - bin vollendet" develops an innovative art form between audio book, live performance and electronic music. At the center is a fictional dialogue between the GDR underground artist Frank Lanzendörfer(flanzendörfer), who died in 1988, and the Berlin author Willi van Hengel.

Lanzendörfer, a poet from the Prenzlauer Berg scene in the GDR who was persecuted by the Stasi, is brought back to life by Magnus Tautz' and van Hengel's voices and Tobias Breyer's electronic compositions. The project combines historical reappraisal with contemporary artistic innovation and creates a new form of literary communication.

Flanzendörfer, as Frank Lanzendörfer (1962-1988) called himself, was a subversive poet and filmmaker in the GDR. His poems revolve around the "lump" in his stomach, his head and his heart in sometimes angular, sometimes subtle words. Flanzendörfer was unable to crumble "die wehs & achs" until the end - and he could not find a place where he could find peace from himself and his battle with the demon. What he has left to finally redeem himself is to take refuge in the illusion of his childhood dream: he jumps from a 50-metre-high fire station tower near Bernau just one year before the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Willi van Hengel seeks to counter Flanzendörfer's word and thought creations with his own text fragments and lyrical prose miniatures, the so-called "Wunderblöcken", in this linguistic work of art.

Magnus Tautz has arranged this audio book in precisely this spirit: as an encounter between two soulmate poets who have not (yet) found their own place in life and in the world ...

Tobias Breyer has enveloped the dialog between the two poets with his music in a unique tapestry of sound and allowed it to unfold.

Willi van Hengel, born in Oberbruch in 1963, studied philosophy, German and political science in Bonn. After completing his master's degree on Friedrich Nietzsche and Jacques Derrida (which remained his lifelong theme), he began writing and published his first novel "Lucile" (written from a woman's perspective) in 2006. This was followed by the second novel "Morbus vitalis" in 2008 and finally the poetry collection "Wunderblöcke" (2010). In the meantime, he moved to Berlin's White Lake for love, where his two plays "De Janeiro" (2018) and "flanzendörfer" (2021) were also premiered. 2022 saw the publication of the novel "Dieudedet oder sowas wie eine Schneeflocke". In 2024, the first audio book was published together with Magnus Tautz: "Wir werden über die Einfachheit unserer Liebe staunen". In 2025, van Hengel published the novel "Entstellung des Gesichts. Eine Verirrung" and the 2nd audio book (together with Tobias Breyer and Magnus Tautz): "Keiner Lippen Winter schweigt. Double-edged self - am complete".
Van Hengel earns his living as an editor for several publishing houses and in the German Bundestag.

Tobias Breyer, born in 1973, studied Applied Arts and has been working successfully for many years as a founder and entrepreneur in the field of marketing and business development. Musically, Tobias Breyer has been involved with electronic music since 2014. He is a member of the basement band "Goldene Gitarren" and has been releasing his own works under the artist name "SoulOverFlow" since 2020. For the symphonic drama "Keiner Lippen Winter schweigt", he took on the conception and realization of the musical design. His challenge was to emphasize the powerful text fragments with sound and to create a balance between literature and music. In addition to music, Breyer devotes himself to photography, graphics and painting. He has been working for several years as a holistic coach with a focus on hypnosis and NLP.

Magnus Tautz, born in 1968, studied German and theology in Erfurt and Berlin, works as a teacher in Brandenburg and lives in Berlin. He has published poetry and short stories in anthologies and magazines, including "poesiealbum". He is a member of the Gesellschaft für zeitgenössische Lyrik (GZL) and stages his own texts and songs in theater projects. He has been a member of the cabaret group "Die Lehrkörper" since 2017 and is a musician in the basement band "Die goldenen Gitarren".
Together with Willi van Hengel, Magnus Tautz published the audio book "Wir werden über die Einfachheit unserer Liebe staunen" in 2024.
