VIELLEICHT IM SOMMER. Musikalische Lesung mit dem ehemaligen Gießener Lukas Mi-Sa Nguyễn Egger

In the organizer's words:

They are on the margins of society and perhaps that is where the beginning of something new lies. When 15-year-old Kian, who grew up with his petty criminal father, ends up in a home after a serious stroke of fate, there is only one option for him: to run away. During a night-time escape attempt, he meets Marco - and suddenly the road to the North Sea lies before them. Seven summer days in which freedom feels like a promise. Their road trip becomes a search for belonging and a cautious exploration of what family and care can mean. Lukas Mi-Sa Nguyễn Egger's debut novel is a touching story about exclusion, longing and friendship. "An enchanting and serious coming-of-age novel for all fans of Ewald Arenz, Christian Huber and Wolfgang Herrndorf." (Piper)

Lukas Mi-Sa Nguyễn Egger (*2000 in Pforzheim) grew up as the son of a Vietnamese father and a German mother and experienced early on what it means to be on the margins of society. His work with children and young people from precarious backgrounds and his master's thesis on poverty in Germany awakened in him the desire to give a voice to those who are often overlooked. After studying in Giessen, Lukas Mi-Sa Nguyễn Egger now lives and works in Karlsruhe.

The event will take place in cooperation with the Junge Kirche Gießen at the Junge Kirche Gießen (Löberstr. 4, 35390 Gießen). Angelina Isak will be the moderator. Free admission, registration is requested. Access to the venue is wheelchair accessible.
