Weltklang

Weltklang - Night of Poetry

Every year in summer, well-known poets from all over the world read in front of several thousand people who let themselves capture by the magic of a night full of words, sounds and rhythms.

Weltklang is a multilingual concert of words and voices. Organized by Literaturwerkstatt Berlin, Weltklang takes place for the twelfth time on June 17, 2011.

A must for Berlin and poetry lovers from all over the world as well as for lyrikline.org. The special edition WELTKLANG will present all authors that have been invited over the past years giving Weltklang (Sound of the World) a voice. All poems will be presented in their original language as well as in translation.


Venue: Maxim Gorki Theater, Am Festungsgraben
