Love between Cloister Garden and Sound Space

Here, event atmosphere meets poetic audience engagement: The duo Susanne Maierhöfer and Dorothee Bärmann will clarify questions of love while walking through the cloister garden. This promises not a stiff lecture format, but a lively event experience with a sense of sound, language, and audience mood. The historical surroundings of the Riddagshausen cloister church, one of the oldest Gothic buildings in Germany, lends a special calmness and dignity to the evening.
