»Deine geschlossenen Lider, Engel, bedeckt ein Grabtuch aus Schmetterlingen.«
Lina Atfah reads from her poetry collection Grabtuch aus Schmetterlingen. In her poems, she tells of being at home in a foreign place, of the present and the past, of the beautiful and the terrible. It is about the pain left behind by the past and still ongoing war in Syria, but also about »how difficult it is to write about love«.
The reading will take place in two parts. Lina Atfah will read in Arabic, Osman Yousufi will read the German translation and adaptation.
*Translated and adapted from the Arabic by Brigitte Oleschinski and Osman Yousufi.
