Step into a world of words and human connection, inspired by the writings of Rainer Maria Rilke. Letters, love and longing connect a poet of the past with an actor of today. Struggling with writer's block, Rilke only expresses himself through letters for a year. A century later, the letters help Ivo Müller navigate his own challenges in a world where even his name feels foreign. 'Masterful meditation on art, life and the yearning for quiet in a chaotic world... electric.' (TheatreBeyondBroadway). From Brazil, this English-language production celebrates the writer's centenary. Part of the São Paulo Showcase.
