Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Jan Weiler

A book about coming home – and about the places that know more about us than we do ourselves. Whenever Leonard Beck checks his post, he always fears the worst. And indeed, it is an unassuming letter from his mother that calls him back to the Lower Rhine after all these years: a house is up for sale.

Please note: The event will be held in German.

Although this house does not evoke fond memories, it draws him in. He travels back to his homeland and, with it, into his past. He meets people again who were once important to him. And time and again he finds himself standing in front of the unassuming house, whose secret he was unable to uncover back then. Now he wants to get to the bottom of it, finally facing his fears – and his great love.

Jan Weiler, born in Düsseldorf in 1967, is a journalist and writer. For many years he was editor-in-chief of SZ-Magazin. His debut, »Maria, ihm schmeckt’s nicht!«, became one of the most successful books of recent decades. This was followed by, among others, »Das Pubertier« (The Adolescent), the novels featuring Inspector Martin Kühn, »Der Markisenmann« (The Awning Man) and »Munk«. In addition to his novels, Weiler writes columns, screenplays, radio plays and audiobooks, which he also narrates himself.

KOHKS

KOHKS | 2 MATERIALS 1 NAME, HAMBURG'S ENERGY
wirvier collective (Hamburg), Colectivo Teatral Luz de Luna (Bogotá)

Club Energía invites you on an all-inclusive trip. Through the Port of Hamburg to the El Cerrejón coal mine in La Guajira, northern Colombia. Across Colombia's coca plantations and finally into the vibrant nightlife of a major German city in summer. Cocaine, coal, capital. How do you get fired up?

Millions of tons of coal leave northern Colombia on large ships to supply Germany's coal-fired power plants with energy. Thousands of Hamburg residents snort what Colombian farmers have produced for them daily: coke. Two energy kicks, one name.

A performative harbor tour awaits you, taking you along retraced coke routes to the coal port, ultimately leading you to the depths of scenic bass tones in the Hafenklang club. Global dependencies, the sacred coca plant, indigenous culture, colonization and displacement, as well as crime and activism. A story of a failed coal phase-out and energetic parties in the tension between activism and hedonism.
