Speakeasy #5 is a poetry evening in the basement of LiteraturHaus, where eight selected poets take the stage in an intimate setting. The performers explore loneliness, friction, dating, strained relationships with diagnoses, and the small shifts between people in an age of notifications, situationships and self-narratives that flicker on screen.
The evening is described as a poetic salon where language can be fragile, confrontational, funny and brutally honest. The organisers say the aim is not to offer perfect answers, but to create a temporary space where people actually listen to one another. It suits those who come alone, or with a friend, parent or partner.
