We’re back from our summer break and are looking forward to once again opening our doors for you in September. Over the next weeks, the Lettrétage will welcome back several popular event series for an exciting mix of experimental, multi-disciplinary, instructive and multi-sensory evenings.
On Friday, September 12 at 8 p.m., Kross Collective will present the ninth edition of CONVERGENCE. The immersive performance blends sound, text, and images to create a multi-layered experience. This time, the artists Keiji Matsuoka, Makoto Sakamoto, Drusnoise and Erbse will be guests. In addition, the collective akademische Noise, hoch qualifiziertes Poetry, and Kross Collective co-founder MIRE will ensure a varied evening.
For the third time this year, the DEAD LADIES SHOW will be coming to Lettrétage on Sunday, September 14. In the 40th episode of the cult format, two English and one German lecture will introduce women who stood up to reptiles, discrimination, and dragons and fought for a better world: Betty Mae Tiger Jumper, Jennell Jaquays, and Una Marson. This time, the true stories will be presented by Susan Stone, Katy Derbyshire, and Jan Kabasci, supported by co-host Florian Duijsens.
On Friday, December 19 at 8:00 p.m., the third edition of this year’s “Girl, Show me that body (of work)” will take place. Since 2024, the reading series founded by Ioana Cristina Casapu has provided a public stage for established FLINTA* authors and previously undiscovered literary talents with migration experience from Berlin. This edition deals with the challenges and freedoms of life in exile for women who are sometimes (single) mothers.
On Thursday, September 25 at 8 p.m., Feeling Burroughs N°3 – “The Place of Dead Roads” will stimulate all the senses. During this synesthetic live improvisation based on William Burroughs’ radical work, visitors will also be treated to olfactory and musical impressions that blend together to create a powerful overall performance. This edition of the event series is dedicated to Burroughs’ “The Place of Dead Roads,” the story of a gay gunslinger.
