Four of them will be performing their verses from different corners of Europe: Maja Lee Langvad (Denmark), Volha Hapeyeva (Belarus), Tibor Babiczky (Hungary), and Gaia Ginevra Giorgi (Italy).

The Nuance of Inclusivity: Being in charge of Storytelling Matters
Qui a le pouvoir de décider de la publication d’un manuscrit ? Qui a droit à la parole, qui est réellement lu ? Et pourquoi est-ce important ? Passa Porta invite à une discussion autour de la notion de littérature inclusive. Le modérateur Raf Njotea sera en conversation avec l'autrice belgo-rwandaise Dalilla Hermans, l'autrice de podcast Ébissé Wakjira-Rouw et la journaliste Jessica Craig.
Claire-Louise Bennett in conversation with Ruth Joos
Ruth Joos talks to British sensation Claire-Louise Bennett. This promises to be a crackling conversation about the need for imagination and the power of literature between a wilful writer and an eager reader. Houses, in so far as they are still sacred, will be reduced to rubble, and your list of books to read will be added to with care.
Meet the Author: Anne Weber
German author Anne Weber has been invited to talk about her surprising Epic Annette: A Heroine’s Tale. In writing this book, she performed a small miracle with big consequences. She told the true story of a real-life resistance heroine in a centuries-old verse form while creating a masterpiece that won her the German Book Prize. Karen Billiet, a literary journalist with a passion for German-language literature, talks to Anne Weber.
