Im Namen der Brise

In the organizer's words:

by Christoph Marthaler with texts by Emily Dickinson
Director: Christoph Marthaler

Just seven of Emily Dickinson's more than 1700 poems were published during her lifetime. And even after the American poet's death in 1886, it was only a mixture of chance and luck that prevented her estate from being burned and thus depriving mankind of a world. For Emily Dickinson's poems are more than descriptions of what is, they build something new with simple, small movements. Dickinson transformed the tiny fragments of the visible world that she observed from the windows of her house in Amherst, Massachusetts, into unique world literature. In his new work, Christoph Marthaler encounters Emily Dickinson and thus ties in with the Hölderlin evening "Die Sorglosschlafenden, die Frischaufgeblühten". "In the Name of the Breeze" is the second part of a small chamber music trilogy in the MalerSaal about three authors from different centuries and opposite points of the compass, with whom Christoph Marthaler feels connected in his very own way.
