When literature takes a stance: Reading Stage Extra in the vault cellar of Annapam
On Thursday, June 18, 2026, the vault cellar of Annapam in Augsburg will transform into a place of literary encounter. The Reading Stage Extra as part of the Refugee Week combines readings, music, and narrative perspectives into an evening that takes the social mission of literature seriously while making it sensually experienceable.
An evening between linguistic art and the present
The event relies on the unique strength of the reading stage: short, dense texts, clear voices, and immediate presence. The focus is on authors from Augsburg and the surrounding area who engage with themes of flight and migration. This creates a literary experience that does not preach but moves.
Science fiction, crime and personal memory
Dieter Rieken and Wolfgang Kemmer read excerpts from science fiction and crime. The prospect of the future is particularly intriguing: Rieken's story is set 40 years ahead and rethinks Italian climate refugees from a shifted perspective. This narrative intensification lends the evening literary quality and cultural relevance.
Estella Dalva also shapes the reading atmosphere with lyrical intensity. She reads passages from her book A Sea of Stars from Dreams and reports on her own flight from Romania. The transition between autobiographical experience and poetic language makes the evening particularly poignant.
Music, text, and a voice from the scene
Farhad Sidiqi, known as Jooyenda, brings another layer to the reading: touching songs and poetic texts connect with a personal search for freedom and equality. His presence opens the space for an intercultural literary experience that goes beyond the mere reading.
The intimate vault cellar of Annapam supports this effect. The closeness to the audience, the concentrated atmosphere, and the blend of words and music create an evening that feels less like a stage program and more like an author encounter.
Conclusion: A literary evening with a stance
The Reading Stage Extra as part of the Refugee Week promises a thoughtful, touching, and versatile literary evening in Augsburg. Those who appreciate contemporary literature, socially relevant themes, and a special reading atmosphere will experience an evening with resonance. Join live now and discover literature as a cultural dialogue.
