INGEBORG BACHMANN LITERARY CONCERT AND FILM

What's it about?

"Poetry for Truth" Film and literary concert Ingeborg Bachmann on her 100th birthday 6:00 PM Documentary "Poetry for Truth" Directed by Barbara Frank, ORF, Arte 2026 7:00 PM Literary Concert Edgar Unterkirchner, saxophone Matthias Haslinger, Fender Rhodes, tuba Natalie Krainer, recitation The selection of texts focuses on Ingeborg Bachmann as a philosopher – a previously little-noticed aspect of her literary and essayistic work. In conjunction with the improvisational sound language and compositions by Edgar Unterkirchner, an atmospherically dense dialogue between word and music emerges. VIA-Extra: Before Ingeborg Bachmann's texts resonate with the music in the literary concert, the new documentary produced by Barbara Frank for ORF and ARTE will be shown: "Poetry for Truth" (2026). The film offers a sensitive approach to the author's life and thought. Carinthian saxophonist Edgar Unterkirchner composes and produces the music for it: his compositions and improvisations form the musical structure of the literary concert.
