Conversation
Be Offline dedicates its next edition to the theme CHANGE — exploring transformation and resistance, renewal and remembrance, a society and its conflicts. The invited authors are Michel Abdollahi and Anne-Marie Reuter. The evening will be moderated by Luc Spada, with DJ Kwistax on the turntables.
The literary show Be Offline stands for powerful words, diversity, and an intelligent culture of debate. Content and form are fluid, while the context remains both adaptable and resilient.
Climate crisis, right-wing shift, artificial intelligence, war, and a constant flood of information — rarely has the present felt so demanding and confusing. Everything seems to be changing. This time, for real. Or maybe not? Is everything getting worse or better? How much truth lies in our feelings? And how much feeling does it take to soften hardened fronts?
At Be Offline, you won’t find quick answers. Instead, the audience can expect literature that refuses easy shortcuts — writing that engages with the here and now, and tells the story of our complex times.
Good to know
Michel Abdollahi is a presenter, author, and reporter. Ten years after his groundbreaking TV documentary Im Nazidorf (In the Nazi Village) — which earned him the German Television Award — and five years after his SPIEGEL bestseller Deutschland schafft mich (Germany Eliminates Me), Abdollahi now presents Es ist unser Land (It’s Our Country), a candid and uncompromising report on contemporary Germany. With sharp insight and fearless honesty, he examines how open xenophobia and right-wing ideology are gaining ground — and why now, more than ever, it’s time to stand up for a peaceful and diverse society.
Anne-Marie Reuter is a teacher, author, translator, and publisher. Her recent novel M for Amnesia, winner of the Servais Prize 2025, envisions a dystopian future where memory becomes a matter of survival. Reuter’s characters move between forgetting and awakening, between personal and collective histories, asking how we can preserve our identity in times of constant change.
