Die Rahmenhandlung in Bad Ragaz

The unconventional festival combines literature and music in an unprecedented form and, with over 40 performers, is spread over seventeen extraordinary venues in Bad Ragaz, the Tamina Gorge and now also in Mels. You can listen to artists such as Sarah Kuttner, Ralf König, Ewald Arenz, Stefanie Sargnagel, Faber, Beat Schlatter, Linard Bardil, Pedro Lenz, Ursus Wehrli, Nadja Sieger and many, many others in a Chinese teahouse, the church, the Old Bad Pfäfers, the Old Cinema Mels or the laundry of the old people's home.
The audience is divided into small groups and led from reading to reading every 20 minutes. The program also includes numerous writers from the region such as Armin Öhri, Gion Mathias Cavelty, Angelika Overath, Laura Vogt, Tom Zai, Jörg Rutz and many more. Concerts in the auditorium of the Oberstufenzentrum at the end of the reading course round off the individual festival days.
On Friday and Saturday, the festival visit can also be combined with a culinary prelude in the Old Bad Pfäfers.
