Rose Ausländer In Amerika

In the organizer's words:

Just in time for US election night, poet Rose Ausländer tells us about her years of exile in New York, the routine of grueling day jobs, but also the loneliness and reverberations of horror that made it impossible for her to write poetry in the language of the perpetrators.

The actresses Manuela Alphons and Ariella Hirshfeld play Rose Ausländer in different phases of her life. Heiko Mönnich will be a guest. The singer Viktoriia Vitrenko and the accordionist Margit Kern interpret poems that Rose Ausländer wrote in English and in some cases translated herself. The new settings are by the Ukrainian composer Alla Zagaykevych, the video installations by Yves Itzek.

An event by Friederike Felbeck in conjunction with the Heinrich Heine Institute. Supported by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, Kunststiftung NRW and the Cultural Office of the State Capital Düsseldorf.
