Experience the graphic novel about Johann Strauss in the Graz Region - interactive and unique!
Let yourself be carried away into the world of Johann Strauss! On 22 May 2025 at 19:00, ATELiER12 in Graz invites you to the vernissage of the handmade graphic novel ‘Johann Strauss - My (Comic)Life’. Styrian comic artist Gerry Lagler has captured the life of the Waltz King in a unique illustrated story - with great attention to detail and entirely by hand.
This special graphic novel was created during the ‘24-hour Comic Day’ in 2024 at the Zeichenfabrik. Within one day and one night, Lagler developed the captivating story of Johann Strauss on 20 pages: from his birth in 1825 to his meteoric rise as a composer and his death in 1899.
But best of all, this work is interactive! Visitors are invited to colour the pictures themselves and bring the work to life. Become part of this special art project!
Look forward to an inspiring reading, a signing session with the illustrator and, of course, rousing waltz music by Johann Strauss himself - played in an atmospheric setting.
Experience the combination of art, music and history - in the Graz Region!
