Description:

Literary karaoke works like this:
For each story, four to six readers are selected from the audience. The texts, in which the corresponding reading passages are color-coded, are distributed among the participants. The readers then only have to follow the plot and read the marked reading passages in roles. After a short time, the participants will feel how the story draws them in and how they become part of the plot. And for the audience, this is a radio play as a live performance.

A reading session lasts about 15 to 30 minutes. There is then a short break. Afterwards, further readers are selected from the audience for a new story.
The texts are thematically aimed at adults and cover all genres, from modern prose to science fiction.

On a literary karaoke evening, two to three novellas are usually read aloud.
