A storytelling café about home, memory, and the literary memory of Fürth
This storytelling café opens a space where personal memory becomes public culture. In the Fürth City Theater, Turkish and German-Turkish fellow citizens gather to share stories of migration, arrival, rooting, and living between two cultures. The collected experiences flow as a source of inspiration into the production Istanbul, which is scheduled to premiere on June 5, 2026.
When narrative becomes city history
Here, the mere event is not the focus, but the literary experience of listening. Those who come will encounter voices that shape the present of the city: family stories, biographical breaks, new identities, and memories of both Turkey and Fürth. The format combines oral tradition, cultural discourse, and the fine art of shared remembering.
A place for an intimate reading atmosphere without a barrier
The storytelling café thrives on closeness, attention, and conversation. With Çay, Turkish coffee, and small snacks, a calm, open atmosphere is created that reminds one of the best forms of reading and author encounters, only more immediate: not read aloud, but told. It is from this that the linguistic and emotional quality of this afternoon emerges.
Why this format is culturally journalistic relevant
Fürth's city society is presented here as a multi-voiced narrative. The storytelling café makes visible how literature, theater, and biographical experience intersect. The perspectives on migration and belonging meet the artistic work of the city theater, which is preparing a work with Istanbul where identity, home, and perspective shifts are central. For literature lovers and culturally interested visitors, the format thus offers a rare access to lived contemporary literature.
