EDWARD W. SAID DAYS
Late Palestine: Struggle, Exile and Home
Pierre Boulez Saal
The festival closes with a lecture by Raja Shehadeh, author of Strangers in the House, Where the Line is Drawn, and Language of War, Language of Peace. In “Late Palestine: Struggle, Exile, and Home,” Shehadeh reflects on Edward W. Said’s notion of late style to examine how ideas of struggle, exile, and home can be understood in counterpoint during a difficult moment in “late Palestine.” Shehadeh uses his own writing as well as Raed Andoni’s award-winning film Ghost Hunting as his foil.
Performances of Webern’s orchestration of Bach’s Fuga (Ricercata) a 6 voci from A Musical Offering and Beethoven’s String Quartet Op. 130 (with the Große Fuge) surround the lecture.
All lectures will be in English with simultaneous German translation. Headphones will be provided. A valid photo ID (or €50) must be given as a deposit.
Under 30 = €15 per event.
