In the organizer's words:

They could, but they don't WANT to. They should, but they don't WANT to. They have to, but they don't WANT to. These are the defiant characters in literature from antiquity to the digital age. They are stubborn towards gods and the patriarchy, towards their parents and over-zealous female colleagues and towards harmless, well-meaning fellow human beings. Sometimes they are gently defiant, and sometimes their stubbornness is very unpleasant. Sometimes they do it completely unnoticed, sometimes they end up burning down entire cities - because they feel they are in the RIGHT or simply have NO WILL. Anneke Kim Sarnau and Matthias Matschke lend their relentless voices to such literary defiance, from Heinrich von Kleist to Ronja von Rönne, and Knut Elstermann needs absolutely no audience to deliver a beautiful and persistently informative moderation. But come anyway - NOW'S THE TIME! Concept: Kathrin Sievers and Axel von Ernst
