Word in Progress (WIP) @Walfer Bicherdeeg
A reading evening with Larisa Faber, Robert Schofield and Ognyan "Flame" Darinov
For this WIP outside Kufa, we meet at the Walfer Bicherdeeg (Location : Kaffistuff) on November 16th, at 7.15 pm. Our guests will be Larisa Faber, Robert Schofield Ognyan “Flame” Darinov and the presenters are Anita Gretsch and Cosimo Suglia.
WIP stands for “Work in Progress” in Paris, and since 2016, for "Word in Progress" in Luxembourg. Usually, on the second Tuesday of each month, from November to May, WIP Luxembourg invites you to discover three texts in the making and their authors.
The idea is simple: come and join us for this special edition and listen to unpublished texts in a friendly atmosphere. After each reading, you can share your impressions with the author and the audience. To help create a dialogue, an “interrogator” stands by the writer and channels the crowd’s passion and discussion.
French, Luxembourgish, German, even English: each Word In Progress is dedicated to one of the country’s spoken languages.
