MORE THAN A BOOK TOUR - Gizem Celik

Gizem Çelik goes on tour with her book "More Than Gossip" - a personal and socio-critical journey through the biggest pop culture moments of our time. Why do some women become saints and others become whores? And what does Gossip actually reveal about power, sexism, capitalism and the society we live in? In "More Than Gossip", Gizem Çelik combines iconic pop culture phenomena with the social issues of our time - from Britney Spears to K-Pop, from Andrew Tate to Barbie, from One Direction to Jeffrey Epstein. Clever, personal and with a sharp eye, she shows that Gossip was never just entertainment, but always a mirror of our fears, desires and moral contradictions. As a content creator and one of the most influential voices for pop culture and Gen Z in Germany, Gizem Çelik observes these dynamics not from the outside, but from the digital center. Between TikTok, fan cultures and media shitstorms, she asks why some stories collectively won't let us go and what this reveals about our times. In a world where millions of people share their opinions on stars, scandals and internet figures every day, gossip is no longer just entertainment, but a new form of social negotiation.on stage, Gizem talks about private stories, celebrity culture, internet phenomena and the political power of pop culture - honestly, humorously and approachably. It's about the stories we tell about stars. An evening for all those who have never found pop culture superficial and for all those who want to understand why gossip often tells us more about our society than the news.
