Phonopoetics on Stage:

Language Sound Matters – Poetry in Performances

07.05.2026 8 p.m. Uhr (Admission 7.30 p.m.)

 

Three duos perform. We experience them in dialogic formats. Before our eyes and ears, they examine language as an event. Club Real engage in a live dialogue and negotiate rights for all living beings. Ulrich Nixdorf (Monique Ulrich and Tabea Nixdorff) turn paratexts into a spoken duet. And the duo Andreas Bülhoff and Marc Matter transform word music into a DJ set. Language Sound Matters:

Poetry in Performances is an experimental and playful event. The performances open up approaches to texts beyond reading. Here, literature is sound and performance by humans and non-human beings.

Literature is therefore also: voice, sound, repetition, and rhythm. A collaboration between the Phonopoetics Research Unit / Herrmann Chair and Burg Hülshoff – Center for Literature.

Organizers: Institute of German Studies | Chair of Britta Herrmann & Burg Hülshoff | Center for Literature
