Literature II: Svenja Liesau / Dirk Bernemann / Fabio La Delia

Fabio La Delia is an author, musician and educational scientist. He reads short stories somewhere between punk and everyday bleakness—literature beyond the glossy façades.

Dirk Bernemann, born not too long ago, has been writing ever since he could: novels, short stories and plays. Well-meaning critics say his work cares for those hardly anyone else would worry about.

Svenja Liesau studied at the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts in Berlin. She was an ensemble member at Maxim Gorki Theater and moved to Deutsches Theater Berlin in 2023. With "Es war nicht anders möglich", she now presents her debut novel — about a young woman who, after her father’s death, wanders through Berlin’s nights and, amid loss, memories, and excess, slips into a world between wonder and nightmare.
