When Christmas goes out of rhythm literarily
On Monday, December 14, 2026, the Bad Godesberg Art Association transforms into a resonance space for unusual, humorous, and surprising Christmas stories. The reading combines festive anticipation with literary irony and shows that the Advent season offers far more than meditative clichés.
Quirky stories instead of Silent Night
Under the programmatic thought 'Not Silent Night', the literature group of the Art Association presents selected texts from the region in collaboration with the Association of German Writers. A jury has selected the submitted stories – resulting in an evening filled with dark humor, fine observation, and narrativeChristmas fantasy.
Eight voices from the regional literary scene
With Karyn von Ostholt, Jutta Roth, Georg Schnitzler, Eva-Maria Gerstkamp, Monika Lamers, Angela Clemens-Mitschke, Gaby Menne-El Sawy, and Christoph Amediek, there are eight authors on the program. Their texts open different narrative perspectives on Christmas and connect literary artistry with a keen eye on human peculiarities.
A special reading atmosphere
The intimate atmosphere of the Art Association creates a fitting frame for a literary experience beyond large stages. Voices, pauses, and pointed scenes enter directly into a dialogue with the audience. The connection of the art venue and the reading gives the evening a concentrated, personal note.
