MOSTRE E CONVEGNI
RAINER MARIA RILKE, THE ANGELS AND THE ‘DUINO ELEGIES’
24 November 2024
Position: Vetrine del Cinema Cristallo, Grado
2025 marks the 150th anniversary of Rainer Maria Rilke’s birth, an event to reflect on his invaluable contribution to poetry and the relevance of his work in the contemporary European context. The human condition, life, love, death and spirituality resonate in Rilke’s work and in a Europe that, today as then, faces crucial challenges, as much political as cultural and social.
Rilke’s cultural adventure aims to enhance Europe’s poetic heritage, demonstrating how poetry continues to play a crucial role in promoting intercultural understanding and dialogue. In a world where borders seem increasingly important, the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke remains a shining beacon. It is still able to guide us through the complexity of human existence, where the power of the word unites people across differences, a place of encounter and reflection for all those who seek to make sense of the challenges of our time.
The exhibition is part of the Festival degli Angeli programme, which also promotes the ‘Rainer Maria Rilke’ International Prize. This prestigious award promoted by the Gruppo Ermada Flavio Vidonis and the Poiein Association is an event that aims to enhance contemporary European poetic heritage through cross-border cooperation.
The exhibition can be visited in the windows of the former Cristallo cinema in Viale Dante Alighieri.
