Reading & Music

Wolfgang Suchner / Hans Werner Otto

The hole in time

Hans Werner Otto, the co-author, reads the texts, Wolfgang Suchner improvises with trumpet, tuba and box bass and Christina Rudersdorf moderates.

Trumpeter Wolfgang Suchner has decided not to begin the second phase of his training as a music teacher, but to continue his life as a freelance artist. He has been making street music for six years, plays in various bands and has finally turned to musical theater. Then he is struck by an epileptic seizure, a grand mal. A blood sponge in his brain has caused it, bled out and caused the faulty circuits. This could happen again at any time, but it could be fatal. Especially in situations where there is a lot of pressure in the head - for example when playing the trumpet. Wolfgang doesn't know what to do next with him. Even after operations have minimized the sponge and the risk of bleeding, the epilepsy remains. And he can't get rid of it. How do you live with a threatening chronic illness?

That is the hole. He doesn't understand what is happening and he doesn't know what has happened. There is no memory. There is a hole in time. If you could look through it, you would see the other side. The other side of time. Maybe he has just seen it, but he can't remember.
