Literature Night Hong Kong 2024

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Literature Night Hong Kong 2024 is a local edition of the project Literature Night organized by Czech Centers and EUNIC, which has been taking place in Prague since 2006. The aim is to introduce contemporary European literature through public readings in non-traditional venues.

The first and mini-version of the Literature Night in Hong Kong will take place from 3:30 to 6:30 pm on 16th November. During this 180 minutes, well-known Hong Kong personalities will read out excerpts (around 10 mins) of works by European writers in 4 different locations. At all locations, the readings will take place simultaneously at a 30-minute interval. Thus, during the whole event, each excerpt will be read six times at each venue.

Audiences can plan their own literature route ahead. Participating venue partners will all be in Central this year.
