Yerevan is taking part in the worldwide reading in memory of Heinrich von Kleist on 21.November 2011
Poster-a3-haynrikh Final
Heinrich von Kleist was a crisis expert and project maker at the turn of the 19th century who regarded Germany to be a waiting room lacking movement. He attempted to shake his contemporaries back to life with futuristic experiments, not only in literature, but in all areas of society. As a character, playwright and storyteller with extreme positions, misunderstood by his contemporaries, Kleist is nowadays seen as a modern figure who got caught up in political and societal upheavals of his times and whose life was marked continuously by instability, despite the fact that he belonged to an aristocratic family from the Margraviate Brandenburg. He developed his ideas and changing life concepts out of a permanent state of crisis. After leaving the military, he changed his life constantly, re-inventing himself again and again as a learned man, a public official, father of a family, farmer, book dealer or theatre director and ultimately as a successful author, something that escaped him in his lifetime.
We are honouring Heinrich von Kleist on the 200th anniversary of his death on 21. November 2011 18:00 hours at Yerevan State University, Charents Hall, Aleq Manooqian Str. 1, 0025 Yerevan.
