Literature

Slam Poetry and Spoken Word

Like dance, language has beat, rhythm and melody. It goes through the body and moves. Former winners of the Treffen junge Autor*innen will give an insight into their current works at a reading.

Sophie Schollek, born in 2001, lyrically negotiates private & political matters. Looks serious, but doesn't mean it. Went to school for a long time. Hasn't made it to the big city yet. Hopes. Likes: crossword puzzles. Spinach. Theatre(!). Crocheted things. Can't crochet. Is tough. Is soft. Believes in simultaneity. Won't stop writing anytime soon (sorry).
