Clara Lösel

In the organizer's words:

"Woe betide you". An evening with Clartext.
Live 2026

She writes what many feel - and hits the nerve and pulse of our time. Clara Lösel touches hundreds of thousands of people with her poetic texts about self-doubt, hope and growing in the face of crises, making her a pioneer of a new literary movement. Her debut book "Wehe du gibst auf" (NOW Verlag), now in its 10th edition, has been on the Spiegel bestseller lists since its publication in April 2025. Now she is adding another chapter to her impressive success story in the live sector: since November 13, the 26-year-old has been on her first major "Wehe du gibst auf" tour in Germany, which will continue in April 2026 due to overwhelming demand.

As a poetry artist, Clara Lösel regularly reaches more than 20 million people on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and co. Her book "Wehe du gibst auf" - now also available as an audiobook - is already one of the most successful books of the year. For her enormous reach and relevance in society, she was also nominated as #BookTok Author of the Year at the TikTok Book Awards 2025. Her live program "Wehe du gibst auf", titled after the book, with which she is currently touring throughout Germany, is so well received that the tour will continue from April 2026 and Clara will visit other cities in Germany and, for the first time, Austria and Switzerland.

As in her videos, Clara Lösel is also vulnerable, approachable and authentic on stage - with lyrics that are clever, honest and deeply emotional. Her special talent for using words to paint pictures in people's minds and her ability to open up new perspectives with surprising twists and turns make her stage program an intense and entertaining experience. Germany's most successful poetry artist will once again be accompanied by her pianist, who will provide musical accompaniment to some of her texts, giving them additional depth. In addition to some of her best-known and most popular poems, the multiple literature prize winner will also perform completely new and in some cases even unpublished texts.

The leap from the virtual to the real stage has great significance for Clara Lösel: "This special mood and atmosphere at the shows - it's something completely different, it's just great. I'm looking forward to finally seeing all the faces behind the profiles live." It is therefore no coincidence that the shows take place with seating, in particularly atmospheric locations and in a deliberately personal setting.

Their lines are so much more than just words. They are a refuge for anyone who sometimes feels misunderstood or lost. Clara Lösel creates a direct connection with the audience by revealing herself and showing her vulnerability. With mature foresight, the Giessen-born artist looks at important, socially critical issues and does not shy away from taboos - it is too important to her to talk about what moves people. The tone always remains gentle and hopeful: no raised index finger, but a wink and a subtle humorous note. The response has been overwhelming and shows that, regardless of age, background or life situation, we are all ultimately moved by the same feelings.

When Clara Lösel performs her lyrics live, her words unfold a power that you not only hear, but feel deep inside. And it becomes clear what it is really about: tolerance, solidarity and humanity. An evening with Clartext is an evening full of depth, many emotions and the best entertainment - and so there are smiles, laughter and perhaps a tear or two, which you never know whether it is from emotion, relief or pure joy.
