Übersetzen & Weltretten: Readings from Utopia
In the organizer's words:
Readings from Utopia
The “Translating & Saving the World” festival invites you to a special reading: This event will be based on your submissions. In the weeks leading up to the festival, the Weltlesebühne is calling on you to send us your favorite utopias and dystopias—works that have shaped, shaken, or inspired you. We’ll draw on your suggestions to bring the diversity of utopian and dystopian imaginations to life—including in their original languages.
