Clara Lösel

"Wehe Du gibst auf" (Woe to You If You Give Up). An Evening with Clartext.Live 2026

She writes what many feel - and thus strikes a chord with the pulse of our time. Clara Lösel touches hundreds of thousands of people with her poetic texts about self-doubt, hope, and growing through 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 continuously featured on the Spiegel bestseller lists since its release 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 be continued in April 2026 due to overwhelming demand.

Clara Lösel regularly reaches more than 20 million people as a poetry artist on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and other platforms. 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 nominated as #BookTok Author of the Year at the TikTok Book Awards 2025. Her live program, titled after the book "Wehe du gibst auf," which she is currently touring across Germany, has received such a positive response that the tour will continue in April 2026, with Clara visiting additional cities in Germany and for the first time also in Austria and Switzerland.

As in her videos, Clara Lösel appears vulnerable, approachable, and authentic on stage - with texts that are clever, honest, and deeply emotional. Her special talent for painting pictures in people's minds with words and her ability to open new perspectives with surprising twists make her stage program an intense and entertaining experience. Germany's most successful poetry artist will again be accompanied by her pianist, who will musically underscore some texts, adding an extra depth to them. In addition to some of her most well-known and popular poems, the multiple literary award winner will also perform entirely new and even unpublished texts.

The leap from the virtual to the real stage holds great significance for Clara Lösel: "This special atmosphere and vibe at the shows - it's something entirely different, it's just wonderful. I look forward to finally seeing all the faces behind the profiles live." It is no coincidence that the shows are held seated, in particularly atmospheric locations, and in a deliberately personal setting.

Her lines are so much more than mere words. They are a refuge for all who sometimes feel misunderstood or lost. The immediate connection to the audience arises as Clara Lösel reveals herself and shows vulnerability. With mature foresight, the artist born in Gießen addresses important, socially critical topics and does not shy away from taboos - it is too important for her to talk about what moves people. The tone remains gentle and hopeful: no raised finger, but a wink and a subtle humorous touch. The response is overwhelming and shows that, regardless of age, background, or life situation, we all ultimately share the same feelings.

When Clara Lösel performs her texts live, her words unfold a power that is not only heard but felt deeply within. And it becomes clear what it is really about: tolerance, connection, and humanity. An evening with Clartext is an evening full of depth, many emotions, and great entertainment - and so there will be smiles, laughter, and perhaps even a tear or two, the cause of which one can never quite determine, whether it is from emotion, relief, or pure joy.
