For the opening of JUNIVERS, the gathering of international poetry translators, poets and translators of Rilke come together, each bringing their own perspective on his work. Together, they explore the global resonance of Rilke’s poetry and create an interweaving of interventions, polyphonic performances, conversations, and piano‑based pieces in which Rilke’s poetics become a multisensory, multilingual experience.

This event is a cooperation of TOLEDO, Haus für Poesie, Lyrikkabinett München and Literarisches Colloquium Berlin.

Tickets will be available via the website of Literarisches Colloquium Berlin soon.
