"Into the open" with Franziska Füchsl and Uljana Wolf - performances and talk with Ivna Zic

An evening between genres, text and sound: Uljana Wolf's new volume "muttertask" (kookbooks, 2024) opens a window to the world in terms of motherhood - with reference figures ranging from Medea and Athena to Hölderlin, Max Beckmann and Hannah Höch. Even the title mixes the mother tongue with the English "to mutter", meaning "to stammer" or "to stutter", and leads with "task" to the enormous task of being a mother. Here, award-winning poetry playfully undermines constructed boundaries, bodies and linguistic images.

In her furious volume of prose "Die Straßen sind sichtbar" (Ritter, 2023), Franziska Füchsl undertakes a rewriting of the world through a precise exploration of her surroundings. Detached from familiar conceptual pathways, words and phrases combine anew, take root and thus connect people with trees. From "Begrünung" to "Begründung" is just a soft "d" ... An evening full of transformational magic and ambiguity.
