"DIE NEUE DEUTSCHE SELTSAMKEIT" - MIT JUAN S. GUSE UND JAKOB NOLTE

In the organizer's words:

From May 14, 2025, the Literaturbüro NRW will regularly present literary chaos at the Schleuse Zwei music bar in the Bilker Bunker. The series "Die neue deutsche Seltsamkeit" is dedicated to texts that are no longer content with depicting reality and instead explore the limits of narrative. Wild genre mix meets vision of the future. Alternative reality collides with digitally influenced narrative forms. Classifications are overcome and make room for deliberate confusion. In the texts presented, oceans disappear, dating apps become investigative tools and young women with vandalism become stars on the internet. We jump into the year 2130 as well as into an unprecedented past. After the readings and talks, the bar will remain open and various DJs will present the appropriate music program.

On May 14, Juan S. Guse and Jakob Nolte will read. Music by Anna Freytag.

An accompanying program curated by the authors will also be shown at the Filmwerkstatt Düsseldorf. More information on the Filmwerkstatt website.
