With Nikos Erinakis and others
Poetry is much different than you would expect. On this evening the flexibility of this supposedly solid format will be celebrated, while sprinkles of dust fall confetti-like from the stage. There will be poetry, reflection and live illustration, from international, transdisciplinary and gorgeously poetic perspectives. With texts by Nikos Erinakis (GR), Sascha Garzetti (CH), Anja Golob (SLO), Yopa Jotakin (AT), Lieke Marsman (NL) and Tabea Xenia Magyar (DE). Music by Garðar Eðvaldsson (tenor saxophone), Anna Hirsch (voice), Yumi Ito (voice), Silvan Joray (guitar), Alvin Schwaar (drums) and Giovanni Vicari (voice). Live-Illustrations by BALSAM collective: Annina Burkhard, Lena Scheiwiller and Lea Gross. Curated and moderated by Simone Lappert. A cooperation of Babelsprech.International, BALSAM, the Literaturfestival BuchBasel and the Musik-Akademie Basel.
