Lunchtime Readings at the Lyrik Kabinett

The Lunchtime Readings offer anyone interested the opportunity to unwind for an hour in a welcoming atmosphere with coffee and cake while enjoying new, creative texts by young writing talents. One or two student texts are presented and discussed. These can be of any type or genre; poems, spoken word, short stories, and novel openings are welcome, as are theater dialogues, essays, collections of tweets, and experimental works. It doesn’t matter whether the texts are written in German or English. And everything is welcome, from first attempts at writing to works that have already been published. The Lunchtime Readings provide ample space for creativity and interaction between readers and the audience.
