Thomas Bernhard's story WITTGENSTEINS NEFFE was first published in October/November 1982 as a preprint in the FAZ, then as No. 788 in the Suhrkamp Library, which Thomas Bernhard held in high esteem. The story is one of Bernhard's autobiographical books and takes us back to the years 1967 to 1979, i.e. to the time when the writer Bernhard (in a ward for lung patients) and the writer Bernhard (in the famous Viennese mental hospital Steinhof) were in the same ward.bernhard (in a ward for lung patients) and the life eccentric and nephew of the philosopher Wittgenstein Paul Wittgenstein (in a psychiatric ward) met and deepened their friendship, which was founded on music. Euphoria and depression drove them both to the brink of madness. Bernhard's insistent, propulsive language proved to be a source of existence for him: "his art" emerged from his lung disease and his madness through this language.

HERMANN BEIL, born in Vienna in 1941, has worked in the theater since 1963: Städtische Bühnen Frankfurt am Main, Basler Theater, Staatstheater Stuttgart, Schauspielhaus Bochum, Burgtheater Wien, Berliner Ensemble. He works as a dramaturge, director and reciter. Member of the Vienna Merlin Ensemble. Together with Claus Peymann, he has performed Thomas Bernhard's drama "Claus Peymann buys himself a pair of pants and takes me out to dinner" in over a hundred performances in Germany and abroad. His book "Theaternarren leben länger" was published by Paul Zsolnay Verlag in Vienna. He lives in Berlin.Translated with DeepL
