Reading International: Ten Languages, One Common Theme

On November 1, 2026, the International House Schwerin will transform into a resonance space for literary diversity. Under the theme Building Bridges, ten individuals from ten countries will share personal texts in ten different languages with the audience.

Literature as a Journey Through Sound and Meaning

This reading leads directly into the multilingual experience of literature. Voices, rhythms, and language melodies open perspectives that transcend cultural boundaries. The German translations will be available in a accompanying magazine for reading along and will connect the sound of the original language with precise access to the content.

Personal Texts in the Spirit of Togetherness

At Reading International, new texts on a common theme are created every year. The event combines reading, cultural dialogue, and encounter. The motif of building bridges takes on a concrete literary form: Stories and thoughts make experiences from different life worlds visible and create space for mutual understanding.

Schwerin is home to people from more than 100 nations. The reading brings this cultural diversity to the stage and makes it immediately tangible through language, voice, and personal storytelling. For literature enthusiasts, an intimate reading atmosphere emerges between original text, translation, and focused listening.
