Lucie Rico: The Ballad of the Vacuum-Packed Chicken - Bilingual reading and conversation with Milena Adam

Book tickets

"Senkel was a unique, first-class chicken and captivated us with his intelligence and mischievousness. His heart may have stopped beating, but he will live on in ours."

Hannah has been a vegetarian since she was a teenager. She lives in the city and has little connection to the village life of her childhood. When her mother dies, she returns to her mother's chicken farm - temporarily, she thinks. But country life, in all its beauty and horror, takes hold of her, and Hannah soon develops a special relationship with the animals: She slaughters and vacuum packs them, but says goodbye to each chicken with its own biography enclosed in the packaging. This gesture gives rise to a marketing project that takes on unimagined proportions ... The screenwriter, director and author, born in 1988, talks about this crazy novel (Matthes & Seitz, 2024) between farm idyll and meat counter with her translator Milena Adam.
