Reading and singing: Reinhold Bilgeri

Reinhold Bilgeri reads from his latest novel “The Conscience of the Doves” – a gripping story about the crazy love between 20-year-old Gerda and the mysterious Italo-Swiss Piero, who is entangled in the machinations of a smuggling mafia. Set against the backdrop of the 1950s/60s, Bilgeri offers a glimpse into a world full of secrets, intrigues, and daring encounters – including insights into the dark entanglements of the Vatican and the escape routes of Nazis to South America.

Between the reading passages, timeless classics from the Great American Songbook as well as hits from Reinhold Bilgeri himself enrich the evening musically. Additionally, Bilgeri provides exciting insights into his film “Breath of the Heavens”, perfectly complementing the literary and musical part of the evening.
