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.

Interdisciplinary Performance and Reading

Days like Television (c) private Daniel Bryden is an experimental musician and video artist from Newcastle upon Tyne, currently based in Berlin. He releases music as Days Like Television. Using an array of dissociated sound sources and fragmented synths, Bryden’s work delicately balance a viscerally intense heaviness with a melodic and nostalgic beauty. His debut album- ‘This Will Have Been the Past’ (released 05 / 06 / 24 on Bonambi) acts as the culmination of 10 years of experiments within the noise, improvised, and electronic music scene. These include live AV performances at such venues as ICA (London), La Vallée (Brussels), ACUD MACHT NEU (Berlin), and VEKKS (Vienna).
Mada (c) private His mother nurtured him with abundant love, while his father repaired cars. Growing up as the eldest of four brothers in a tiny flat in Wedding, Berlin, shared with two dogs and a free-flying bird, Mada learned the values of resilience and responsibility. Now, he runs a recording studio in Lichtenberg while studying the obscure reality in which we live in while being a busdriver.
Michael Berentsen (c) Sten Melin Michael Berentsen is an American-born, Berlin-based freelance media artist, composer, and technician with a Master's degree in sound from the Universität der Künste Berlin. Since 2005, He has professionally navigated the realms of composition and media artistry, continually striving in collaborative and solo endeavors. His work spans various mediums, from coding and sound manipulation to visual artistry, reflecting a commitment to exploring the intersection of emotion and technology.
Driven by a passion for both the auditory and visual realms, he crafts immersive experiences that challenge perceptions and evoke profound emotional responses.
Andreea Hriscu (c) private Mire is the dark-ambient drone and atmospheric soundscape project of Andreea Hriscu, a multidisciplinary Berlin based artist. She is active as an expressive painter, photographer, performer and sound artist. Her sound project Mire has 6 releases on Bandcamp consisting of sound collages, sound-poetry, dark ambient and drone sounds. Using mostly self recorded synths, modified samples and field recordings, Mire is an exploration of profound, meditative soundscapes that provoke a sense of introspection, throwing the listener into a darkening solitude, a deep claustrophobic dimension, submerged in perennial cyclic movements.
von jeglichem wort (c) private von jeglichem wort is a sound- and text project. Last published: „von jeglichem wort das durch den mund den menschen vernewet“ (Gedichte, KLAK Verlag 2023), and the records (vinyl): „es gibt für den menschen keine innere leere mehr“ (2022), and „um außer uns im leeren nichts zu suchen“ (2024).
