About event
Actor and author Daniel Donskoy celebrates the Berlin premiere of his debut novel BURNING with live music and a subsequent conversation with author Judith Poznan!
"I don't remember exactly how many of these blazing fires I survived, but I know that they left their mark. Big wounds that slowly heal, and tiny little scars that I don't even see, but that are still there. Because injuries aren't always there visible."
Twelve years after fate tore the two apart, the narrator of Daniel Donskoy's debut novel Burning is compelled to write to his friend Tyler: about the life that has passed since the summers of their youth in Tel Aviv. About filming in the Russian snow, shortly before the war, about a Sicilian hunting party and a fearless dachshund, a film studio in flames near Auschwitz, about the existential struggle against a massive British woman - a story of arrogance, of desperation and burning passion.
With a pace that is impossible to escape, and in a language that both stirs and comforts, Donskoy writes about departures, about the Intoxication and the longing for belonging.
"Daniel Donskoy is wild, desperate, knowing, searching, reflective. He roars and whispers, and he is truthful when he asks: What is life?" - Iris Berben
"A young man with a tractor driver's license runs through the world that is burning beneath his feet. A cheeky, passionate, clever book." - Wladimir Kaminer
Daniel Donskoy, born in Moscow in 1990, grew up in Berlin and Tel Aviv. After his acting training in London and New York, he soon became one of the most internationally sought-after German actors of his generation. He starred in successful Netflix and Disney+ productions as well as in acclaimed films. He developed and moderated the award-winning ARD show “Freitagnacht Jews”.
