Trilogy Manifest: A literary arc from personal fate to outer space
On Sunday, November 8, 2026, the Lichtwerk in Bielefeld will transform into a space for big questions: The reading Trilogy Manifest connects A Second Life, Lifted Up, and Arrived – High in the Air into a multi-layered narrative about transience, consciousness, and the place of humanity in the universe.
Max Urlacher brings Iris Wameling's texts to the stage
Actor Max Urlacher reads from the books Lifted Up and Arrived – High in the Air by Iris Wameling. At the center is a literary cosmos that intertwines personal experience, societal satire, and science fiction. The dramaturgy leads from the individual fate of a woman through the rise and fall of a society shaped by power, media, and art to the possible extinction of humanity.
Between psychological thriller, societal satire, and science fiction
The trilogy consciously moves between genres. Particularly Arrived – High in the Air unfolds as an extraordinary novel that melds psychological thriller, science fiction, and contemporary literature. A meteorite impact during a celebrated art exhibition on the Côte d’Azur triggers the plot and opens the view to a world where art, power, and human existence intertwine indissolubly.
A stage experience about life, death, and consciousness
The production as a reading focuses on the power of the spoken word. Voice, rhythm, and linguistic precision create a theatrical atmosphere in which the inner landscapes of the books unfold. The audience's reaction emerges from the alternation between intimacy and cosmic expansiveness: A personal life path stands beside societal satire, a human loss alongside the question of the survival of humanity.
