Between Moss and Milky Way: When Literature Asks About the Cosmos and Life
This reading at the Literature Festival Potsdam promises an extraordinary literary experience: Heino Falcke and Jasmin Schreiber meet in a conversation about what has always preoccupied humans – the gaze into the stars and the hidden life on the ground. On July 1, 2026, the Thalia Cinema in Potsdam opens its doors for an author encounter that impressively connects science, language, and cultural discourse.
An Evening Between Micro and Macrocosm
Heino Falcke, known as an astrophysicist and author for his precise science communication, and Jasmin Schreiber, a writer, biologist, and literary observer of the smallest ecosystems, bring together two perspectives that are surprisingly close. The evening revolves around black holes, biodiversity, moor landscapes, dying, and the origin of the world – the great themes that drive literature and science alike.
Reading Atmosphere in Thalia Cinema
The reading takes place in an intimate venue that allows for closeness between the audience and the performers. The atmosphere of a cinema as a literary space enhances attention to voice, rhythm, and linguistic artistry. Especially in the conversation format, the tension between analytical thinking and narrative condensation unfolds particularly clearly.
Why This Conversation Stands Out Literarily
Jasmin Schreiber is present with novels and non-fiction books that deal with species extinction, climate change, and violence against women, as well as the quiet forms of life in moss. Heino Falcke, on the other hand, became internationally visible with the first image of a black hole and represents a science that makes complex interrelations understandable. Together, they create a literary experience that artfully intertwines non-fiction, reading, and conversation.
What Visitors Can Expect
The audience can look forward to a smart, atmospherically dense event that broadens perspectives while simultaneously going into detail. The reading invites participants to experience science as a cultural narrative and to rediscover literature as a place of wonder. Those interested in contemporary literature, popular science, and the relationship between language and knowledge will experience an evening of special brilliance.
Conclusion: Between Moss and Milky Way turns literature into a place of thinking, feeling, and questioning. This event offers a rare connection of insight, conversation, and poetic precision. Anyone who wants to experience the interplay between the cosmos and microcosm live should not miss this evening in Potsdam.
