Reading - Alex Capus
"Das kleine Haus am Sonnenhang"

Concert - Kaufmann

The Eastern Swiss dialect musician and everyday poet with the poignant voice is reinventing himself musically: with roots in folk and singer/songwriter sounds, he is now celebrating alternative rock in the style of the 90s - and in Swiss German.

Reading - Mirrianne Mahn "Issa" 

The German activist, politician, theater maker and author artfully and movingly interweaves the fates of five women whose lives are more than a century apart - and yet are connected by the lines of colonial exploitation and the pursuit of self-determination. A powerful and haunting debut between Germany and Cameroon.

Friday, July 18 | 8:30 p.m.

Concert - Nola Kin

Her raw, powerful voice and unique guitar playing combined with the free and wild performance of her band are an experience of a very special kind. Inspired by Blake Mills, Bon Iver and Dijon: a mix of indie folk, soul, country and Americana.

Nola Kin

Reading - Isabelle Lehn "The Player" 

She has received numerous prizes and scholarships for her literary work, most recently the Dietrich Oppenberg Media Prize. In her new novel, a young, unassuming woman moves from the provinces of Lower Saxony to Zurich in the 1990s to pursue a career as an investment banker - and becomes an accountant for the mafia. Inspired by a true story!

Reading - Anton Weil "Super lonely" 

The actor, speaker and musician talks about the big issues of his generation: isolation, sexuality and love, grief and new beginnings. A firework display of storytelling, always on the verge of blowing everything up, a colorful, wild odyssey through the psyche of an entire generation and a declaration of love to real life.
