Ensemble member Jonas Dumke's personal solo performance is a tribute to the tormented spirit and linguistic artistry of Heinrich von Kleist. Through quotations from his letters, novellas, and dramas, he creates a dazzling kaleidoscope of a poet whose character and biography both fueled his great creativity and made life and work difficult – right up to his tragic end. From the young soldier to the literary outsider, the evening paints a portrait of a mind yearning for its fulfillment.
