Lütfiye Güzel & Jan Wagner »Vers VERSus Vers – Lyrisches Sparring« | Lesung

In the organizer's words:

According to the definition, sparring is "a form of training in martial arts in which two partners fight each other according to modified rules in order to improve their skills, without the intention of determining a winner". Why not apply this principle to a poetry reading? The Duisburg poet Lütfiye Güzel and the Berlin poet Jan Wagner will therefore, instead of reading from their works separately and marked with pauses, stand on stage together (and with all their books in front of them) and take it in turns to recite, reacting with each poem to the previous one, round after round, poem after poem, dancing, feinting, evading, parrying and encouraging in a friendly manner - but also finding time to chat and comment on each other without getting sweaty at all.
