RESONANCE AS READING AS RESONANCE

Poetic Walking Meditation

15.08.2023 16h

Reading a poem or reading a Tuesday – the focus of the performance will be resonance as praxis, one in and for which we are bodies before anything else – breathing, listening, and yes, one body among other bodies. The participative piece is the attempt to build a collective moment of sensitized perception.

press statement Literaturstiftung Bayern – LITERATURUPDATE 2020 Den Tod schreiben (second prize): 

 

"The eleven poems of the 27-year-old, born in Erlangen, are rhythmic miniatures on the fragility of life. The jury remarks that 'impressively, Kaufmann manages to write the ever-existent presence of death in its most literal sense, word by word, sound by sound."

„[…] Erst beim Zuhören fällt er so richtig auf, der persönliche Ton, der in ihren poetischen Botschaften mitschwingt: sphärisch und direkt; tastend, aber irgendwie unerschrocken.“"
