The Duino Elegies
By Rainer Maria Rilke
Spoken by Frederik Leberle and Britta Scheerer
Directed by Dieter Nelle

"Who, if I cried, would hear me from the angels' orders?" - Rilke's poetic journey between heaven and earth begins with these famous words. The Duino Elegies are considered a masterpiece of German poetry and at the same time are almost unfathomable in their depth. Two curious actors dare to do the impossible: a performative approach to Rilke's mysterious verses. Frederik Leberle and Britta Scheerer guide you through a world in which angels wander around, lovers search for each other and acrobats endure the in-between.
A poetic journey of discovery for anyone who wants to be touched by the power of language.
