Lesung: Selim Özdogan und Maryam Aras | Sommer Köln

Theater / Performance

Selim Özdogan and Maryam Aras READ

Not a problem district, not a gentrification project, but a life lived. Maryam Aras and Selim Özdogan read from their texts about Cologne-Mülheim.

Literature can do what urban development debates and sociology seminars cannot: make a place audible from the inside. With their texts about Cologne-Mülheim, Maryam Aras and Selim Özdogan make it clear that the stories of this district have long been literature. Great, stubborn, closely observing literature about Mülheim and its people, who sometimes forgot to leave and sometimes consciously made the district their own. The stories are there. They just need space. Where, if not in the Kulturbunker, the oldest cultural venue in the Veedel?
