Matinee on Ingeborg Bachmann: Hearing Language Art Anew, Igniting Thought Anew

A literary experience for head and heart: In the Kunsthaus R3, Prof. Dr. Gunnar Och and Dr. Christoph Grube illuminate Ingeborg Bachmann's work between lyric poetry, prose, and poetics. In an intimate reading atmosphere, you will encounter an author meeting that makes Bachmann's linguistic artistry sensually experienceable.

The Voice of Modernity: Bachmann's Themes, Tones, Depths

With expert precision, the speakers open the resonance space of Bachmann's language: mythic motifs, existential questions of love and freedom, criticism of structures of violence, and the search for a viable self. Poems from 'Die gestundete Zeit', the narrative radicality of 'Malina', and the radio play poetics are unfolded in dialogue – concentrated, sonorous, close to the texture of the sentences.

Context and Canon: Work, Impact, Present

The matinee places Bachmann's oeuvre within the cultural discourse: Group 47, Frankfurt Lectures, the Salzburg Bachmann Edition – and the relevance of an author whose literary quality continues to set standards. Terms like genre, style, and narrative become tangible without losing poetry.

Analysis with Ear and Heart: An Hour that Resonates

The specialized reading meets sensual impressions: the voice and language of the speakers, the concentrated spatial feeling, the clear thought after the successful image. This matinee promises insights that remain – and joy in re-reading.

Conclusion: You can expect a witty, accessible introduction to Bachmann's work – compact, dialogical, inspiring. Experience the literary presence of a classical voice live in Ansbach.
