Im Wiener Burgtheater gab es am 11. Februar 1998 einen (damals sehr umstrittenen) Abend für und mit Otto Muehl.
Otto Muehl war gerade erst – nach sechseinhalb Jahren Haft – aus dem Gefängnis entlassen worden. Muehl las aus seinem Buch „Aus dem Gefängnis 1991-1997“ Briefe, Gespräche und gemeinsam mit Christian Ludwig Attersee, Hermann Beil, Claudia Mühl, Reinhard Reiner, Einar Schleef, Hermann Schmid, Peter Turrini – und Peymann selbst – Otto Muehls Dramolett „Muehl“
Dank an Jutta Ferbers für die Mitteilung.

At the Burgtheater in Vienna on 11 February 1998, there was an evening (that was at that time very controversial) for and with Otto Muehl.

Muehl read from his book “Aus dem Gefängnis 1991-1997” letters, conversations and together with Christian Ludwig Attersee, Hermann Beil, Claudia Mühl, Reinhard Reiner, Einar Schleef, Hermann Schmid, Peter Turrini - and Peymann himself - Otto Muehl’s play “Muehl”.
