5th anniversary + reading
To celebrate the 5th anniversary of the network of French-speaking female authors in Berlin, Le Bal des Autrices invites Berliners to a celebration of creative writing on September 20th. All phases and facets of writing will be celebrated!
Celebrating their fifth anniversary means being together and doing what they do best: writing. They are keen to involve the audience. The audience chooses the words, themes, and formats the authors use to create new texts. Thus, they become vectors of literary creation and have the opportunity to participate in playful literary games.
Whether it's bingo or a scavenger hunt, juggling words is meant to be fun for everyone, young and old. During the evening, the written texts will be read aloud on stage, accompanied by music by artist Soline Krug. Afterwards, the famous Chanteuse du Bar will return to the stage, and it's time to celebrate!
Founded in 2020, the network of women authors* aims to create a space for the writing of French-speaking women* in Berlin. The Réseau des Autrices promotes cultural and linguistic dialogue between France and Germany by organizing literary projects that are accessible and vibrant for everyone, and by stimulating the interest of a broad, intergenerational audience in contemporary literary creation.
Five years of the Réseau des Autrices* mean four residencies, a winding and almost endless hotel; numerous reading stages, five Advent calendars, podcasts, live writing sessions in an "Aquarium of Women Authors" and even in a fictional fitness club – with people, for people.
The Réseau des Autrices* aims to continue its contribution to the Berlin literary scene for many years to come.
