Alma Mahler-Werfel und Walter Gropius – WIR SIND KUNST – Ein Ekstatischer Briefwechsel

In the organizer's words:

A reading by Inge Rassaerts and Dieter Gilde

In the summer of 1910, Alma Mahler and Walter Gropius met in the Austrian spa town of Toblach near Graz. They fell in love between walks and spa excursions - the beginning of a relationship with many ups and downs, which began as a secret affair while Gustav Mahler was still alive and was largely played out in letters over many years.

Alma Mahler-Werfel (1879 Vienna, 1964 New York), the daughter of the renowned Viennese painter Jakob Emil Schindler, the most beautiful girl in Vienna, married Gustav Mahler, Walter Gropius and Franz Werfel and was loved by Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka and Alexander Zemlinsky, the most brilliant men of their time.
