DAI Heidelberg. Das Haus der Kultur

All About Feelings

This week at the DAI is all about feelings, memories, and the ways we relate to one another. We kick off the week with Henri Hirt and his second book, Writing Feels Good, a collection of poems, thoughts, and stories. In I'd like to go back in time, Judith Hermann traces the story of her grandfather during the Nazi era and explores how her family has dealt with this past. Ece Temelkuran’s Nation of Strangers tells the story of her involuntary exile from Turkey and her search for a new home and a sense of belonging. In The Outrage Trap, Saba-Nur Cheema and Meron Mendel explore how we can move beyond an increasingly heated culture of debate and learn to disagree with one another again. To round off the week, Marcus Imbsweiler and Timo Jouko Herrmann take a fresh look at Carl Maria von Weber’s Der Freischütz and its distinctive emotional world as part of Musical Sunday.
