Programmarchiv

Seit 2006 finden in der Lettrétage ca. 120 öffentliche Literaturveranstaltungen jährlich statt – Lesungen, Workshops, Diskussionsrunden, literarische Performances und Formate dazwischen. Bekannte und unbekannte Autor*innen und Künstler*innen verschiedener Sprachen und Nationalitäten sind hier schon aufgetreten.

Seit 2013 liegt der Programmfokus u.a. auf neuen Wegen der literarischen Präsentation und Live-Produktion: Dazu zählen u.a. die internationalen bzw. transnationalen Literaturfestivals „Soundout!“, „¿Comment!“, „Berlinisi“ und „Syn_Energy“, aber auch das viel beachtete Netzwerkprojekt „CROWD“ und multimediale Projekte wie die Reihe „CON_TEXT“ oder das „Poetry Audio Lab“. Eine vollständige Liste der Lettrétage-Projekte finden Sie hier.

Als Ankerinstitution für die freie Literaturszene Berlins stellt die Lettrétage außerdem ihre Räume für Literaturveranstaltungen aller Art zur Verfügung. Zahlreiche freie Veranstalter*innen nutzen unsere Infrastruktur regelmäßig – für Literatur-Workshops, Lesereihen in verschiedenen Sprachen und Buchpräsentationen. Mehr zu den Möglichkeiten der kostenlosen Raumnutzung erfahren Sie hier.

Auf dieser Seite präsentieren wir einen nicht vollständigen Einblick in unser vergangenes Programm.

    Orpheus Builds a Girl

    20:00 UhrLettrétage in der Veteranenstraße 21, Freier Eintritt

    Reading and Book Launch with Heather Perry, presented by The Reading Berlin


    (c) Belgravia Books

    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).

    Heather Parry will be in conversation with Jane Flett about gothic fiction, the nature of obsession, and the battle for control of women’s bodies – in death as well as in life. The night will open with short fiction from an emerging Berlin writer, and after the reading there will be an audience Q&A followed by a book signing with books from Curious Fox.

    10:30Registration Fee: 125€

    Workshop with Paul Scraton and Marcel Krueger

    Whether you are writing essays, blogs, a journal of your travels or the story that will become a novel, creating a strong sense of place is crucial. Suitable for anyone interested in turning the sights, sounds and soul of place into engaging prose, this workshop will explore place writing in all its facets and why through the wide world of literature, location matters.

    Over two days, participants will discover key works of place writing and learn about the different techniques to be found within this broad genre, including journalism, memoir and creative non-fiction accounts. Through a series of readings and exercises (which will include a ramble through the neighbourhood), participants will try a variety of fresh and creative approaches to writing about place and will work on a draft of a short piece of place writing - fiction or non-fiction - to be considered for publication on the Elsewhere: A Journal of Place blog.
