By Rolf Dieter Brinkmann.

"The storytellers go on, the car industry goes on, the workers go on, the governments go on, the rock'n'roll singers go on, the prices go on, the paper goes on, the animals and trees go on, day and night go on, the moon rises, the sun rises, the eyes open, the doors open, the mouth opens, you speak." And it speaks: Rolf Dieter Brinkmann! Enfant terrible of the German literary scene, run over by the right when he looked to the left. What begins as a reflection on his own life soon becomes a young man's furious stroll through the streets of Cologne: the post-war West German muff in his sights, armed with a tape recorder. His constant companion is his idiosyncratic poetic spirit. In escalating cascades of hate, Brinkmann captures the awfulness of the world, the city, the street with a devilish laugh - in edgy beauty. DIE WÖRTER SIND BÖSE is the title of a WDR radio play from 1974, written, spoken and edited by Brinkmann himself. Director and set designer Wolfgang Menardi brings this breathless march through Cologne in the 1970s to the stage, enriched by poems from Brinkmann's work. A merciless look at the city of Cologne, full of humor and well-hidden beauty between concrete buildings and tiled floors.
