Chymical wedding – alchemy, chemistry, poetry
‘The poem of the right angle’
Performative lecture with Martina Kieninger and Sabine Scho
Wednesday, 23 October, 6:30 pm

On this evening, you can look forward to a performative reading by the two writers Martina Kieninger and Sabine Scho. Entitled ‘Chymische Hochzeit’ (Chymical Wedding), they take up the alchemical symbolism of the ‘Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosencreutz’ from 1616. In the evening at the Weissenhofwerkstatt, Le Corbusier’s ‘Poem of the Right Angle’ will be the focus.
The reading of her poems will be expanded performatively through various, often open-ended experiments. By creating colours from metal salts and semi-precious stones or paying homage to the sun through the play of light and shadow, Kieninger and Scho blur the boundaries between genres and create a unique experience for all the senses.
