You can look forward to 150 events with guests from 50 countries, including well-known literary voices such as Elif Shafak, Olivia Laing, Mithu Sanyal, Ben Okri, and Paul Lynch as well as up-and-coming talents.
The authors explore a world that is touching, stirring, weird, currently often disturbing, but also comforting – a »Strange New World«. Helon Habila, the festival’s Curator in Residence, has chosen the focus of this festival edition together with the curatorial team.
Experience book premieres, special literary events such as the Poetry Night and the Graphic Novel Day as well as discussions and dialogs on the current issues of our time at our festival center, Haus der Berliner Festspiele. You can find the entire program here and in printed form in many different bookstores and libraries in Berlin.
Our ticket sales have also finally started. You can now purchase tickets for all events in the Berliner Festspiele webshop.
