Within the framework of the International literary and musical festival «Bashkortostan, Baden-Wurttemberg. Interpretations in the spirit of the times", which takes place in the country these days, today held a poetry evening of Rainer Rilke and Marina Tsvetaeva "From century and forever...".
In 2016 marked a significant date - the 90th anniversary of the death of Rainer Maria Rilke, whose life and work were strongly linked with the fate of Germany and Russia. At its sunset days Rilke wrote about Russia: "... it has made me what I am; Internally I come from there, the birthplace of my feelings, my inner source are there ... ". Rilke visited Russia, later learned Russian and read Russian classics in the original language.
The last year of the poet's life was illuminated by romantic correspondence with Marina Tsvetaeva. Marina from childhood loved Germany, already spoke in German, and first visited the country in 12 years. "My passion, my homeland, the cradle of my soul!" - She wrote to Germany in 1919. She considered Rilke as the greatest talent of the XX century: "You are embodied poetry. You are a natural phenomenon, embodied the fifth element: poetry itself...". Unfortunately, meeting of these two creators did not succeed. Exclusion - this evening, where the actors of the theater recited poems of Tsvetaeva and Rilke, engaged in dialogue, created from fragments of letters. At the time it seemed like the heroes of the evening are filled with feelings, highly artistic expression of the conversation, and no letters and poems.
The director of the meeting - a teacher of elocution Alia Hisamutdinova, the project engaged the actors of the Russian Drama Theatre Tatiana Ahromenko Vladislav Arslanov, Ruslan Belsky, Anton Boldyrev, Sophia Venediktova, Larisa Kapustina, Olga Lukyanova, Ilya Myasnikov, Daria Filippova, Olesya Shybko, students of Z. Ismagilov USIA Timur Rakhmatullin and Vladislav Kurguzov. The forum is a continuation of many years of fruitful cooperation between various institutions and public organizations of our countries.
