Hotel des Autrices 2026 mit dem Montreal Poesiefestival

The evening 'Play Through HdA' opens the doors of the Hôtel des Autrices, a digital literature platform that ten poets – five from Berlin, five from Quebec – have inhabited for three days. The audience navigates live and together through the hotel's rooms and worlds, like playing a video game together: a floor plan is projected, the audience chooses where to go, and the poets read, play and reveal what they have built. This new format of literary mediation sees literature as a collective, participatory and playful experience, and the evening will be streamed live on Twitch. Participants include Ann Gaspe, Emma Gresinski, Harold et Maud, Neïtah Janzing and Amélie Porcher-Huỳnh, hosted by Laurence Ratté and Dorothée Fraleux in German, English and French.
