Asphalt Festival 2021: A Vibrant Literary Extravaganza in Berlin
The much-anticipated Asphalt Festival 2021 is set to take place in Berlin, promising a diverse and captivating lineup of performances, readings, and discussions. However, a search for the specific schedule and program for this year's event has yielded few results.
This annual contemporary literature festival, known for its international flair, will see renowned authors, musicians, and performers come together in various venues across the city. Among the confirmed locations are the floating stage at Schwanenspiegel, Gustaf Gründgens Platz, D'haus Central, Berger Church, and public spaces throughout Berlin.
Some of the notable performers slated for Asphalt Festival 2021 include rapper Ebow, the Mivos Quartet, jazz virtuoso Marius Preda, and punk band Joseph Boys. The avant-garde Trickster Orchestra and the multi-award-winning piece "Tanz" by Florentina Holzinger are also expected to be part of the festival.
In addition to music, the program features a stage adaptation of David Foster Wallace's novel "Infinite Jest," starring Devid Striesow and Jasna Fritzi Bauer. Philipp Hochmair's "Jedermann reloaded," a performance that combines electro beats and rock sounds, is another highlight. Rimini Protokoll's "Chinchilla Arschloch, waswas" and Theater collective Pièrre.Vers's "Im Process," a piece exploring the Majdanek trial in Düsseldorf, are also scheduled.
Festival organisers Christof Seeger-Zurmuhlen and Bojan Vuletic express relief that Asphalt Festival 2021 can proceed as planned. They encourage attendees to stay tuned as the program continues to evolve with new performances and events being added. Festival organisers also remind everyone to keep an eye out for where Asphalt will appear next in the city.
Asphalt 2021 will feature a variety of performances, including but not limited to those mentioned above. Notable authors participating in readings and discussions include Frank Goosen, Max Czollek, Olivia Wenzel, and Franzobel.
