The young poets’ scene in Romania is bubbling over with boiling creativity and love of experimentation. Dissatisfied with conventional ways of doing things, it rampages uninhibitedly into other art-forms and is totally unafraid of unusual ways of presenting work. It is just as much at home on reading stages as in clubs. In the series ‘Young Blood from Romania’, ten young poets who have been showered with awards for their debuts will be showing what poetry from Romania is all about.Short video-poems by various Romanian artists will accompany this long night of poetry. The right mood will be created by the sampling artist Silent Strike. The poets will be doing ‘Poetry On Request’ in the Kulturbrauerei on the evening before this, when visitors can request a poem.
An event sponsored by the Titu Maiorescu Romanian Cultural Institute in Berlin in partnership with the Romanian literary journal ‘Noua Literatura’
