This makes it clear that Rudloff's program 'Summer, Sun, Freedom' was not just about reading aloud. The actor and reading star transported the audience right into the mood of a hot day at the outdoor pool with his art of speaking, gestures and facial expressions.
In the small, provincial outdoor pool, lifeguard Kiontke brings together a wide variety of characters and he knows them all. There is the ageing Latin teacher Isobel, who is increasingly living in the past, and there are the children of the bear group with their supervisor Melanie, who are supposed to take their seahorse today. Rainer Rudloff brings them all to life and captures the poetic mood of the text 'Seemann vom Siebener' by Arno Frank.
In his excerpts from 'Der große Sommer' by Ewald Arenz, Rudloff slips into the role of teenager Friedrich. He falls in love for the first time on the diving platform and experiences a very special summer with Beate, his friend Johann and his sister Alma. The guests laugh and smile, and things get exciting during a secret night-time swim in the outdoor pool.
From the first to the last minute, Rainer Rudloff captivated his audience and presented them with a piece of summer in September.
