Poetica

Often it is darkness that brings forth new, vivid ways of seeing. In the dark, what light cannot mend begins to heal. For the grand finale of Poetica ’10, the authors of this year’s festival edition join ensemble members of Schauspiel Köln on the stage of Depot 2. Together, they gather the highlights of this festival of world literature and invoke what works in secrecy: the untranslatable, the unknown, the undefinable. The world reveals itself in a poetic web of traces, resonances, and movements – a poetics of being on the way.
