When the children of the night raise their voices
On Thursday, October 29, 2026, Stefan Jürgens transforms the Small Stage of Pasinger Fabrik in Munich into a place between gothic romance, language art, and dramatic reading. His reading performance from Bram Stoker's Dracula leads into the dark heart of a novel that has significantly shaped modern horror literature.
A classic as an atmospheric listening and sound experience
Bram Stoker's vampire novel, published in 1897, reveals its impact not only through the story of Count Dracula. The narrative structure of letters, diaries, and reports creates a polyphonic perspective in which facts, fear, and the supernatural are irresistibly condensed. Stefan Jürgens transforms this literary material into an intense listening and sound experience.
Stefan Jürgens: Voice, presence, and stage instinct
The actor and musician Stefan Jürgens combines years of theater experience with significant media recognition. His career has taken him to important German stages; he is also well-known to a broad audience from television, film, and comedy. Awards such as Bambi, Bavarian Television Prize, Golden Lion, Romy, and the Nestroy Theater Prize mark his artistic presence.
In this reading, the voice is central: it gives rhythm to the diary passages, allows the perspectives of the novel to confront each other, and opens a resonance space for Stoker's linguistic artistry. Between intimacy and threat, a reading atmosphere emerges that does not illustrate the well-known material, but makes it immediately tangible.
Literary history with goosebumps
Dracula is one of the most influential works of horror literature and continues to resonate in novels, films, series, and pop culture to this day. The author encounter with Stefan Jürgens simultaneously focuses on the literary quality of the original: on its documentary form, psychological tension, and play with the unknown.
The Pasinger Fabrik provides a fitting setting for this. The Munich cultural center in the western part of the city has been a versatile venue for theater, music, exhibitions, readings, and cultural discourse for decades. On the Small Stage, Stoker's vampire classic receives a concentrated, immediate form.
Conclusion: A literary experience for friends of the gothic novel
Those who want to experience Bram Stoker's Dracula not just as material but as an artistically composed narrative will encounter an evocative reading performance that evening. Stefan Jürgens combines knowledge of literary classics with strong stage presence and leads the audience into a world of shadows, voices, and nocturnal tension. An evening for anyone who wants to hear literature live and experience its impact immediately.
