Poetry matures slowly and is something between prose and song, between prayer and counting rhyme, between a short note in the hustle and bustle of everyday life and the production of useless beauty in the form of words as a protest against this everyday life. Poetry is what remains of whoever and whatever.
This is how Marina Frenk felt about Katerina Kuznetsova's poems when she discovered them.
Katerina Kuznetsova is a Yiddish poet, teacher and cultural activist in Berlin. Her works, published in Yiddishland, Di goldene pave and Birobidzhaner shtern, give new voice and vitality to the contemporary Yiddish literary scene.
The Berlin-based author's poems, written in Yiddish, inspired Marina Frenk to write melodies, which she shared with the two musicians Lisa Hoppe and Paul Brody. Hoppe was then inspired to set other poems by the poet to music - the result was a song cycle between ballad and joke, contradiction and jazz, echoes of klezmer or not, improvised spoken performance and classical song.
This "in-between" state is also reflected in the Yiddish language, which is rarely heard in everyday life these days, which knows many dialects, differs between Ukrainian, Polish, Lithuanian Yiddish, etc. and is particularly... Germany sounds all too much like German, but is written in Hebrew letters, and as a layperson you will hopefully be interested in finding out more about the origin and history of this language. A language without a state and without an army - somehow free.
Di Shkatulkeles embark on a playful, musical journey into the core of poetry written in the here and now in the Yiddish language. In something that remains or has been forgotten, but can be remembered and learned, but in any case reinvented - vegn paradoksn fun tsayt!
Admission: 15 euros online / 20 euros at the box office

The Berlin-based author’s Yiddish poems inspired Marina Frenk to create melodies, which she shared with the two musicians Lisa Hoppe and Paul Brody. Hoppe, also inspired by this, set more of the poet’s poems to music – thus creating a song cycle that oscillates between ballad and wit, contradiction and jazz, with or without hints of klezmer, improvised spoken word performance, and classical song.
This “in-between” state is also reflected in the Yiddish language, which is rarely heard in everyday life these days. It has many dialects, distinguishes between Ukrainian Yiddish, Polish Yiddish, Lithuanian Yiddish, etc., and, especially in Germany, sounds very much like German, but is written in Hebrew letters, hopefully inspiring the layperson to learn more about the origins and history of this language. A language without a state and without an army—somehow free.
