THE POETS präsentieren und performen: POETARIUM – Monologe.

In the organizer's words:

THE POETS present and perform:

POETARIUM - Monologues.

the poets - that's Dakini Böhmer & Ralph Stieber: a pair of poets between text and stage. They bring poetry to where it belongs: on the street, in pubs, on stages and into people's heads. Their spoken word events are often accompanied by music.

They come to Tee de Cologne without music, but with great personalities instead: Leonard Cohen, Oscar Wilde, Frida Kahlo, Hunter S. Thompson and many others. They are all the voices in Ralph's new book POETARIUM - Monologues.

Oscar Wilde speaks from his prison cell, Ophelia refuses to drown, Rilke's Panther breaks his silence. Frida Kahlo spits at the surrealists' feet, Arturo Ui returns from the grave.

"This book is not just for reading - it is made for the stage." - Ralph Stieber

Dakini & Ralph bring these unusual personalities to life - for a poetic evening between poetry and theater.
