HAUS FÜR POESIE

This edition of Poets' Corner in cooperation with ‘Bubble Gum’ aims to explore the fluid transition between language and body, between poetry and performance.

‘Bubble Gum’ is an international platform and network for performance artists. Performers Nancy Görlach and Mélissa Antier confront topics such as loss, parting and the search for home in different ways. In their performance practice, their bodies shape resonances for what lies before poetic language and is so hard to describe: this elusive humming between movement and sound that is always there, behind everything, if you just listen hard enough. In an experimental lab setting, they meet poets Fatbardh Kqiku and Sylvia Fox to react to their poetry, to try out new forms of physical expression for poetry and to approach the question: In what space and in which manner is poetry created before it is spoken?
