Book Presentation "Kunsstücke" Rolando Villazón - Vienna, 07 September 2014

Heinz Sichrovsky (cultural journalist and presenter) conducted the interview with Rolando Villazón (for the most part he asked the usual questions - those we know from countless interviews). Rolando replied with his usual charm and had - as so often - so many laughs elicits from the audience.

Between these "questions and answers": Michael Dangl - actor from the ensemble Theater in der Josefstadt - was the reciter.  He read from the book "Kunsstücke" - obviously well prepared and with skilful accentuation (Primera Tríada: 1.1.2 CRAC CRIC CRAC) and (Segunda Tríada: 1.2.2 SUBMARINO AMARILLO).
