An evening that makes forgotten voices audible
The Johanniskirche in Bielefeld will become a resonance room on July 3, 2026, for a literary-musical program that focuses on female authors and composers of past centuries. Under the title The Woman Behind the Canon, language, singing, and piano come together for an evening of memory, insight, and artistic presence.
Literature meets sound art
Clara Fenchel, Marta Wryk, and Sina Kloke create a reading atmosphere that does not rely on effects, but on concentration, precision, and linguistic artistry. The evening brings to light those women who have been too often marginalized, overlooked, or excluded from the cultural canon. The literary quality of this format lies precisely in this: it connects cultural discourse with sensual immediacy.
A musical-literary experience in the Johanniskirche
The Johanniskirche at Johanniskirchplatz provides a quiet, bright, and dignified setting for this author encounter in an extended sense. The sacred architecture enhances the intimate atmosphere in which voice and piano do not just accompany, but narrate. Thus, a literary experience emerges that moves between recitation, concert, and memory culture.
Strong themes, clear perspective
The evening unfolds its impact from the tension between past and present. Repressed biographies, female creativity, and the question of visibility form the core of the program. Those interested in readings, cultural events, music, and literary quality will find an evening of attitude and depth here.
Conclusion
The Woman Behind the Canon promises a special cultural evening for all who want to not only read literature but also hear and experience it. The interplay of acting, mezzo-soprano, and piano creates an evening that resonates. Anyone who is enthusiastic about the power of forgotten voices should experience this event live.
