Gedichte unter erschwerten Bedingungen – ein literarischer Tanz am Abgrund der Komik. Mit Michael Lentz und Uli Winters

In the organizer's words:

"Life is hard, poetry is easy", someone once said - and they were very wrong. Because when the text wants to be spoken in a true way, it likes to challenge the speaker to the utmost.
Michael Lentz (voice, saxophone etc.) and Uli Winters (voice, guitar, music box etc.) crawl in the dust to change their lives according to R. M. Rilke's prescription, take a mouthful of bread until there is no more room for human words - or read two poems at the same time. Who knows how long we will live? How often do you have to mention that a flower stands in a vase until it withers? What is August Stramm looking for in the "Tagesschau", and what do the sounds of freedom actually sound like on an acoustic guitar? Lentz and Winters dance, sing, blow and lament their way to an answer to all these questions. With poems by Renate Rasp, Rainer Maria Rilke, Dieter Roth, Gertrude Stein, Georg Trakl, Karl Valentin and Michael Lentz.
