Kirabo grows up at her grandparents‘ in rural Uganda. Despite the love she experiences, the older she gets, the more questions come to her mind, the answers to which the adults around her seem to know, yet try with all their force to conceal: Where is her mother, whom she has never met? Why did she leave her daughter behind back then and chose a life without her? Clever and headstrong, Kirabo begins to get to the bottom of these questions.

Based on chilling real events, ORPHEUS BUILDS A GIRL is the story of a brilliant doctor determined his relationship with his true love will persist beyond the grave, and the sister who refuses to let his version of events go unchallenged. It’s a novel of sisterly love and deranged obsession that has been described as “grotesque and strangely beautiful” (Alice Ash) and “a sinister dark flower of a book” (Camila Grudova).

UNVEILING IRAN: VOICES FROM AFAR offers a platform for Iranians, Iranian Germans, and Iran-lovers to get on stage and express their dreams and desires for home.
The evening will feature live music by Ansan, a group of musicians from Iran, Israel, India, and the US, dedicated to peaceful living through music. Their fusion sound links Persian poetry to modern Western genres like jazz and blues and sets the tone for the culture of mixing and mingling that is Iran’s particular strength. Poets and writers with Iranian roots and those who have something to say about Iran will perform their work in Persian and English, telling stories of beauty, loss, belonging, longing.

Humble – self-aware, contrite, modest, poor, down-to-earth: Humble has many meanings but they all revolve around one central idea – it’s the opposite of showy and ostentatious. Showy ostentation however might be the very core of today’s culture – whether its influencers showing off their lifestyles, politicians showing off their nuclear arsenals, or industries paying extravagant bonuses while causing massive greenhouse emissions. Humble, it seems, is out of fashion.
