Litera­turtage Düssel­dorf | Luise Meier liest aus „Hyphen“

In the organizer's words:

When the world suffers its first week-long power outage in 2025, there is, contrary to expectations, no panic. And even when power grids and supply chains, money flows and the internet finally collapse, it does not mean the end of civilization. Instead, the people in Luise Meier's multi-faceted novel "Hyphen" begin a search, born out of necessity, for other, even non-human, ways of relating to each other that enable them to survive and care for each other. There is Anne, for example, who tries to keep the hospital running, her fifteen-year-old son Tomasz, who suddenly learns to see the power of nature, or Maja, who keeps a record of all this for the ever-growing encyclopaedia that spans the globe. Luise Meier reads from her novel, in which she lays out biographies, experiences, dreams and wishes like mushroom threads, interweaving them with unrealized futures and revealing them: The world is not coming to an end - rather, it is emerging anew, in radical, all-encompassing connectedness.

Luise Meier, born in East Berlin in 1985, works as a freelance author, theater maker and service worker. She studied philosophy, social and cultural anthropology and cultural studies in Berlin, Frankfurt a. d. Oder and Aarhus. Her texts for the Berliner Volksbühne are archived at www.volksbuehne.adk.de.
