Every angel is terrible

Understanding Rilke's verses with head and heart. The Duino Elegies are among the most beautiful works written in the German language. Rainer Maria Rilke worked on the Elegies for over ten years, from 1912 to 1922, exploring the richness of human existence. The actor couple Franziska Walser and Edgar Selge have dedicated themselves to these works for years in acclaimed performances. They do not simply read them aloud; instead, they let the moment guide them and recite the Elegies freely. This creates something unique every evening that transcends the boundaries of a reading. A lyrical listening experience of a special kind! Franziska Walser was a member of the Munich Kammerspiele ensemble from 1976 to 2001. Her memorable performances in film and television roles have received multiple awards, including the Grimme Prize. Edgar Selge is one of the most significant character actors in Germany and has been honored with numerous awards for his work.
