One Million Words - Rilke in London

Join us for an enchanting evening of live theatre, poetry, and literature that deepens our sense of human connection! 🎭✨

One Million Words - Rilke is a captivating solo performance by Ivo Müller, inspired by the profound works of Rainer Maria Rilke. This show bridges the gap between an actor of today and a poet of yesterday, weaving a narrative of a writer who battles the intricacies of poetic expression for nearly a year, communicating solely through letters. 📜

As the actor embarks on a journey using these poignant letters, he grapples with his identity in a world that often feels alien. Together, the poet and the actor delve into timeless themes of love, the creative process, and the feeling of not belonging—issues that echo in our contemporary reality. 💞

🔍 Special Feature: The show includes dialogues between Rilke and Psychoanalysis, along with an insightful essay by Daniela Oliveira Grund, who explores Rilke's complex relationship with psychoanalysis. While he sought relief from suffering, he also feared that it might impede the profound inner depth fueling his poetry. For Rilke, creating art was a path to self-healing.
