When a Basic Right Becomes a Political Question
The multimedia reading Asylum - Loss of a Basic Right? invites you to KOM´MA Children's and Youth Theater Duisburg on November 28, 2026. Together with Berlin author Jörn Hagenloch and René Linke, the evening will focus on Article 16a of the Basic Law and the question of what significance the right to asylum still holds today.
Literature Meets Current Politics
Asylum is one of those concepts in which German history, European politics, and individual fates are condensed. The reading connects literary language with a political assessment: Article 16a has been restricted, suspended, and reinterpreted. This creates an evening that does not leave legal questions abstract but makes them tangible as social and human experiences.
A Multimedia Author Encounter
The format combines reading, theater, and media elements. The author's voice meets images, information, and artistic perspectives. In this reading atmosphere, the theme unfolds a special intensity: language becomes a means of remembrance, categorization, and dissent. The literary experience thus opens a space for concentrated listening and collective reflection.
Between Harsh Assessment and Engagement
The evening does not linger on the diagnosis of a political loss. Initiatives and artistic actions that oppose the erosion of the human right to asylum will also be presented. It is precisely this connection between analysis and action perspective that gives the event its cultural significance.
An Evening for Societal Discourse
The event is aimed at literature enthusiasts, politically aware individuals, and anyone interested in human rights, migration, and democratic responsibility. The narrative power of the reading connects expertise with immediate stage presence and makes complex questions accessible without simplifying their literary and political quality.
Conclusion
Visitors can expect a compelling multimedia reading on the right to asylum, its social significance, and the forces advocating for its preservation. Those who experience literature as a place for contemplation and public debate will find a highly relevant evening at the KOM´MA Theater. Mark your calendar now and experience the author encounter live.
