Siesta Festival: PANORAMAS #3 Performative Reading 15.06.24 in Berlin, Lettrétage in der Veteranenstr.

On June 15, SIESTA celebrates its third and final Panoramas of Latin American Performative Literature in Berlin 2024, bringing together, for one last time, the emerging voices of three authors: Angélica Freitas opens the night with a vibrating and sharp performance on alopecia, sagging boobs, and menopause, pushing us to talk about how to survive the passage of time in a world made for men. Later, Franco Marcucci invites us to look through a deep cut into bacteria, fungi, & putrefaction, presenting living words that grow into network of breathing matter. Closing this last Panoramas, Cristian Forte brings us back to the stage with open ears, diving into the sound archives made of found footage-style-words-turned-into-poems.

Their works will be translated by Odile Kennel, Monika Raič and Jordan Lee Schnee, who bring experience and linguistic elasticity to expand languages, exploiting the richness of the texts-performances. Together, this third and final universe of Latin American literature promises an unforgettable dive, inviting you to be bathed in these new horizons and perspectives.

Adding a visual dimension to the experience are Rocío Rodriguez and Valeria Solari, infusing the event with an immersive aesthetic backdrop. Moderator Felipe Sáez Riquelme will guide us through the night, while DJ Amuleto Manuela will make us celebrate the closing of this unforgettable journey.
