Mondo Brohmo 10: Sacha Brohm brings the reading stage to Lichtwerk

When everyday life meets the abyss and banal observations suddenly gain philosophical depth, the world of Mondo Brohmo begins. On October 17, 2026, Sacha Brohm will present the tenth edition of his idiosyncratic reading show at Lichtwerk in Bielefeld – a literary experience combining reading, satire, and classic reading stage art.

Literature between comedy and human abysses

Sacha Brohm works with the open form of spoken text. His stage pieces range from absurd rituals and barely explainable behaviors to sexual excesses, violence, and other contradictions of human action. In this way, a closed narrative work does not emerge, but rather a multi-voiced panorama of everyday life: overdrawn, pointed, and repeatedly surprisingly contemplative.

The narrative energy of his texts is fueled by contrast. Banality tips into philosophy, silliness turns into melancholy, and seemingly harmless everyday situations acquire a grotesque depth of field. This is precisely where the literary quality of the Mondo Brohmo evenings lies: language is not used as decoration, but as a precise instrument of observation.

A stable presence in the Bielefeld reading stage scene

Brohm studied German philology and literary studies in Bielefeld. Together with Andreas Beune, Jens Kirschneck, and Matthias Schönebäumer, he founded the reading stage Zirkeltraining in 2002. Later, he was a key figure in Sitzen 73 and Die Giganten der Untertreibung. Since 2018, he has been hosting Mondo Brohmo at the Lichtwerk cinema, continuing a distinctive Bielefeld tradition of literary stage performance.

His texts encompass various literary genres and registers. Everyday problems may appear in a fairy tale style, exaggerated reality encounters dry observation, and quotations from the Bible or song lyrics expand the linguistic material. This mixture gives the reading its own style: direct, unpredictable, and characterized by linguistic artistry.

Reading atmosphere at Lichtwerk

The Lichtwerk in Ravensberger Park provides the perfect setting for this author encounter. The event evening is set for three hours and combines reading, stage presence, and satirical dramaturgy. Attendees can expect pure Sacha Brohm: an intense voice, pointed texts, and an evening that reads familiar reality against the grain.

The tenth edition of Mondo Brohmo thus represents a literary format beyond classic book presentations. Here, literature is not only read aloud, but also physically and audibly experienced in front of an audience. The reading stage transforms language into an immediate scene and invites a rethinking of the peculiar comedy of human habits.

Conclusion: An evening for friends of spoken literature

Mondo Brohmo 10 promises an unusual author encounter enriched with absurd everyday texts, black humor, and philosophical side glances. Those who love reading stage art, satire, and literary wordplay will experience an evening full of surprises at Lichtwerk. Hearing Sacha Brohm live means encountering literature in its most immediate form: as voice, attitude, and a shared experience in space.
