FILÍOCHT GEORG TRAKL

AN UNCANNY GLITTER: THE POETRY OF GEORG TRAKL

Duine de na filí liriceacha ba thábhachtaí san aois seo caite ab ea Georg Trakl. Tá a chuid filíochta ar maos leis an mbás catastrófach, íomhánna cogaidh, ionfhabhtú, plá, seachmall – ach is aisteach cé chomh hálainn is atá páirc an áir aige, dathanna agus comharthaí siombalacha, fíoracha aislingeacha ag teacht is ag imeacht ina n-aingil aeracha. Duine d’fhilí cosmacha na Gearmáinise, ar aon chéim le Rilke.

AN UNCANNY GLITTER

THE POETRY OF GEORG TRAKL

Online Film 7.00pm

Georg Trakl is one of the most important lyric poets of the twentieth century. His apocalyptic poetry is awash with images of death, war, infection – but are also uncannily beautiful in their use of symbolic colours and signs, and in the appearance and vanishing of dreamlike figures and strange angels. Of his work, Herbert Lindenberger commented ‘he lofty stance, the cosmic range, and the haunting music of Trakl’s poetry now mark him, with Rilke, as perhaps the last great representative of what could be called the sublime tradition in German.’

An Uncanny Glitter features Irish language versions of Trakl’s work by Gabriel Rosenstock, accompanied by visual interpretations of the poems by Margaret Lonergan and a haunting soundtrack composed by Seán Mac Erlaine.
