HOLOS: Vinyl Record Presentation and Reading by Poesiekollektiv Landschaft

What does a landscape sound like when it must constantly reinvent itself? Which voices find their way across borders, languages and the realities of war?

On 19 November, Grigory Semenchuk (Lviv, Ukraine) and Ulrike Almut Sandig (Berlin), founders of the German-Ukrainian Poesiekollektiv Landschaft, present their new vinyl album HOLOS. HOLOS – Ukrainian for “voice” – brings together poetry, music and electronic soundscapes in a polyphonic artistic dialogue between Germany and Ukraine.

Semenchuk and Sandig guide the audience through the album: they talk about the lyrics, sounds and stories behind their poetry songs, play selected tracks straight from the record and screen music videos from the album. In between, the poems meet in two languages: Grigory Semenchuk reads his Ukrainian poems, Ulrike Almut Sandig her German versions.

An evening about voices, poetry and music – and about how artistic collaboration remains possible even under the conditions of war.

With: Ulrike Almut Sandig, Grigory Semenchuk, Sascha Conrad
