What happens when we travel – inward or outward? Do we really arrive anywhere? What expectations and preconceptions do we bring? Do we only see what we want to see? Two international travellers, Felicitas Hoppe and Indra Wussow, discuss the stresses and strains of travel and the joy of the journey. Exploring journeying through familiar and foreign landscapes, they ask illuminating questions about our longing for paradise and the limits and possibilities of cultural appropriation. Inevitably the conversation turns towards enforced settling and retreating during the time of Corona. These musings are flanked by a series of paintings by South African artist, Jaco van Schalkwyk, called Homage to my fellow Travellers. An additional layer of meaning is also added by a sound installation by well-known South African composer and pianist, Jill Richards.

Her work often grapples with transitory themes, presenting them in a comical yet thrilling manner that lends her stories an absurd quality. She also employs the technique of quotation in her novels, reconstructing narratives through official records. As a young, successful, and female writer, she is recognized as part of a literary phenomenon critics have termed the "Fräuleinwunder".

These five darkly comic vignettes are absurd modern fairy-tales, full of Chaplin-esque slapstick and ominous imagery. From her break-out debut collection, these wildly original pieces demonstrate why Felicitas Hoppe is counted among the greatest living German writers.
