Inside

An evening between precision, pressure, and poetic physicality

With »The Routines«, Son Lewandowski highlights on May 20, 2026, in the main building of the University of Bonn the hidden mechanisms that shape performance, self-image, and exhaustion. The evening combines literary sharpening with stage presence and opens the view on a text that vividly intertwines the hardness of discipline and the fragile inner life of an athlete. According to lit.COLOGNE, the novel takes the protagonist Amik, an elite gymnast, to her limits and beyond.

When the body becomes a stage

The material revolves around control, repetition, and the moment routines tip over. Son Lewandowski, who lives as an author and curator in Cologne and was funded for her writing in 2024 and 2025, condenses in her debut the perspective of a competitive athlete into a narrative of great internal tension. The press describes the novel as precise, unsparing, and strongly developed from the insider's perspective of top-level sports.

Literary intensity with a fine sense for dramaturgy

What emerges on stage is more than a reading: It is a stage experience that oscillates between literary density and performative presence. The theme of routine receives a dual charge when it resonates in the space of the historical main building of the University of Bonn, whose baroque architecture has always created a special theater atmosphere. The university cites the target address for the main building as Am Hof 1, 53113 Bonn. ([uni-bonn.de](https://www.uni-bonn.de/de/universitaet/ueber-die-uni/standorte?utm_source=openai))

Directions, admission, and practical framework

The main building is centrally located in Bonn and is well connected to public transport. The University of Bonn refers for directions to the stop University/Market as well as to its proximity to the main train station; for car drivers, it mentions among others the Uni garage and other parking options in the vicinity of the city center. The building also has designated opening hours and information for barrier-free use. ([uni-bonn.de](https://www.uni-bonn.de/de/universitaet/ueber-die-uni/standorte?utm_source=openai))
