Word for Word on Stage: The reading_probe in Gera
On Tuesday, August 25, 2026, the reading_probe at the Häselburg Cultural Center in Gera invites you to a special evening focused on voice, text, and expression. From 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, the Old Bathtub will be dedicated to collective reading and speaking – an open course offering with no prior experience required that combines literature, speech training, and stage practice. The organizer is Kulturhaus Häselburg e.V.; admission is free. ([gera.de](https://www.gera.de/event/lese-probe))
A Course that Makes Texts Audible
The event starts precisely where many texts come to life: during reading, conscious speaking, and the impact of language in space. According to the program, Häselburg dedicates the reading_probe to the fundamental exploration of reading and speaking texts. It involves not only literary contents but also everyday texts, newspaper articles, SMS, and short vignettes of daily life. ([gera.de](https://www.gera.de/event/lese-probe))
Atmosphere with a Theatrical Feel
The format is aimed at individuals who want to rediscover their own voice – calm, concentrated, and at the same time experimental. At Häselburg, cultural work, performing arts, and target group communication come together. This creates a unique event experience: not a classic reading evening, but a workshop with audience closeness, artistic curiosity, and immediate practice. The leadership lies with Maren Barnikow, who works as a theater creator and dramaturge according to Häselburg. ([gera.de](https://www.gera.de/event/lese-probe))
