What's it about?

The Falter reporter Lukas Matzinger and photographer Olivia Wimmer about their trip in a 40-year-old VW bus from Vienna to China and back. An evening inspired by and featuring the travel novel "Ohne Kalaschnikow schlaf ich schlecht" – a world journey presented as a two-hour reading, storytelling, and photo exhibition. Bloody jerseys of Kyrgyz polo players, bricks from Osama bin Laden's house in Abbottabad, a bouquet of bacteria from Tajikistan, and experiences from days in police custody in Balochistan: Lukas Matzinger from Ennstal and his partner Olivia Wimmer traveled for a year and 35,000 kilometers in a forty-year-old VW bus, from Vienna to China and back, always through risk areas. Yet behind the end of the world, in the most threatening and inhospitable regions, the most wondrous encounters awaited: strangers offered the best bites and the widest beds – and shared their stories. A travel novel where everything rings true, an adventure that could not be foreseen, a major reportage of the wide world.
