St Hilda’s College is hosting a multimedia performance on the poetry of the First World War given by a group of German performers and directed by German author Johann Reißer.
The two-part programme will, in its first part, feature poems from 14 countries addressing the turn from preliminary war fever to the shock at the effects of industrialised mass war, while the second forms a tribute to the German poet Thomas Kling (1957-2005), drawing on poems that concern the aftermath and remembrance of WWI.
All are welcome. Translations will be provided to accompany the multi-lingual performance.
