Why did you decide to take part in this project? What is your interest within the engagement with the „reading format“?

As a playwright I am not that much interested in the question of the sublimity and the true to detail realization of the text, but much more in the collective story-telling of varied experts: How can a text speak outside of its language-based limitation, how can it be translated interdisciplinary, how can it be sounded out, expanded on –and how such a body forms outside the body of its authors.
