Ingeborg Bachmann – Ihr Worte, auf, mir nach! – Lesung mit Angela Winkler

In the organizer's words:

A literary-musical homage to the centenary of Ingeborg Bachmann's birth with Angela Winkler and Uli Johannes Kieckbusch

"There is a saying by Hölderlin that the spirit can only express itself rhythmically. Music and poetry have a rhythm of the spirit. They have rhythm, in the first, form-giving sense. That is why they are able to recognize each other. That is why there is a trace," writes Ingeborg Bachmann in her essay "Music and Poetry".

Actress and singer Angela Winkler and musician and composer Uli Johannes Kieckbusch follow this trail in their tribute to the centenary of the iconic poet's birth.

Ingeborg Bachmann, born on June 25, 1926 in Klagenfurt, is considered the most important female voice in German-language post-war literature. Her poems and stories deal with people in existential distress: they are faced with decisions involving love, truth, life and death. The boldness of her language, the sharpness of her insight and the absoluteness of her feelings have lost none of their shattering radicalism.

Angela Winkler, born in Templin in 1944, has worked in the theater with Peter Stein, Klaus Michael Grüber, Luc Bondy, Peter Zadek, Karin Henkel, Christoph Schlingensief, Romeo Castellucci and Simon Stone, among others. In 1979, she played the mother in Volker Schlöndorff's film adaptation of "The Tin Drum", based on the novel by Günter Grass. In 2018, she starred alongside Tilda Swinton in "Suspiria", the same year she also appeared in the Netflix hit series "Dark".

Uli Johannes Kieckbusch, born in Bruchsal in 1954, studied at the Trossingen University of Music from 1974 to 1982. He has repeatedly explored the relationship between music and poetry and has set literary texts to music, preferably by Else Lasker-Schüler, Fernando Pessoa, Dorothy Parker and Thomas Bernhard. Kieckbusch lives in Wuppertal.
