"We have to find true sentences that correspond to our own state of consciousness and this changed world."
INGEBORG BACHMANN, 1956

Ingeborg Bachmann (1926-1973) achieved fame with "Die gestundete Zeit" when she was just 27 years old; a year later, Der Spiegel put the young poet on its coveted cover. But Bachmann was more than the "Fräuleinwunder der deutschen Lyrik" (SWR). The dramatic power of her poems, about which Hans Werner Henze said they had something "alarming, scandalous, alienating, frightening", still captures us today. Together with the poet Sirka Elspaß ( born in 1995 // "ich föhne mir meine wimpern" // Suhrkamp) and Irene Fußl-Pidner, co-editor of the Salzburg Bachmann Edition (Suhrkamp/Piper), we celebrate Ingeborg Bachmann in her poetry - on the evening of her 98th birthday. What influence does Bachmann have on today's female authors? Vicky Krieps, seen as Ingeborg Bachmann in Margarethe von Trotta's film "Journey into the Desert", will read selected poems.
