On this evening, we swap basses for books. Where otherwise the beat leaves little room for conversation, Stefan Sommer gives us an insight into the world of his novel character in this reading:
As a successful techno DJ, he is flown to the private parties of the super-rich. A luxurious life between helicopter flights, infinity pools, champagne and the increasingly grotesque desires of a superstar who is bored with himself and the world. In between: Loneliness. Designer drugs and painkillers only help temporarily, and Christian, a married man, quickly disappears from the DJ's life.
Partypeople takes a coldly comic look at the world of big money: it tells of rich kids, tech oligarchs, performative masculinity and new capitalism. One hopes for a way out, and yet suspects that there can be none.
Leipzig's newcomer authors are also part of the evening. The excerpts from their works reflect different perspectives of the Leipzig scene. But it's not just the content that provides a deep insight into the local music scene: elipamanoke represents the city's transformation from a strong industrial culture to a lively, creative subculture like no other location. The techno club is at home in a former letterpress printing factory in the Plagwitz district, which has become a hotspot of the cultural scene thanks to many creative conversions of this kind.
After the readings, the bar will remain open and eli resident DJ STIMULA will provide the finest house set
