»WAS WÄRE, WENN WIR MUTIG SIND?« LITERATURFEST ERÖFFNUNG

In the organizer's words:

DANIEL SCHREIBER, LUISA NEUBAUER, VLADIMIR KORNEEV, JULIA HORNUNG

Welcome: Dominik Krause (Second Mayor)
Moderation: Tanja Graf
Munich track: Lisa Jay Jeschke & Chris Reitz

How can we face the multiple crises of our time? By bravely looking ahead, reflecting on what drives us. And by talking to each other - in all languages of love.

What drives us? What do we want to fight for? Daniel Schreiber shows that a passionate relationship with the world creates space for change. He invites us to engage with the languages of love - in readings and debates, performances, film screenings and many other event formats. He presents his program in conversation with Tanja Graf.

The keynote speech will be given by Luisa Neubauer, one of the most important public intellectuals of our time. She will show that responsibility and solidarity - and not least courage - are the keys to a functioning coexistence on our planet. And she calls on us to look crises in the eye - together, courageously ("Was wäre, wenn wir mutig sind?", Rowohlt).

"A chanson is the whole world in three minutes," says Vladimir Korneev. And: "My language is love." The celebrated chansonnier and pianist presents songs about love and courage together with Munich bassist Julia Hornung.

And Chris Reitz and Lisa Jay Jeschke will show how multilingualism, gender and queerness, memory and utopia fit into the Munich literature scene in a poetic-performative performance by Münchner Schiene - the young "imprint" of the literature festival.
