The audience, who had come to listen to Laure Roldan, Apolline Lecogne and Joël Delsaut narrate the texts, was delighted. “At the table we sing, and the memory around it dances.” These are the words of Franck Lemaire, director of the Stammdësch – 2026 edition at the Café Theaterstiffchen “Beim Mimmchen” in Bieles.
Three narratives by Aude-Laure Biver, Fabio Godhino and Paul Mathieu emerged from a one-week residency at the end of November 2025. Three texts linked by an obsession with time slipping away and a memory that slowly fades. And yet: «Du haut des pyramides de Guizèh, quarante siècles nous contemplent. {À Soleuvre}, le chiffre peut être multiplié par on ne sait combien de millions d’années. Oui, la Terre Rouge est toujours là. Elle porte l’Université de Belval, les orchidées sauvages, les rires des gamins qui inventent des fausses lettres d’évacuation. Elle porte surtout ces cafés où l’on se retrouve, où l’on se raconte, où l’on rit beaucoup et où l’on pleure encore un peu sur les dérives du monde.» (extrait)

The audience did not hesitate for long and, with loud applause, celebrated the result of this exceptional Stammdësch. After the reading, the evening wound down over a drink offered by the municipality of Suessem, in the presence of Mayor Simone Asselborn-Bintz.
The “Rendez-vous Stammdësch” is one of the cross-border cultural projects carried out as part of the Interreg project ATRACT-AB (eLo). This project is a collaboration between the Communauté de communes du Pays Haut Val d’Alzette (CCPHVA), the Minett UNESCO Biosphere, and the City of Esch-sur-Alzette.
