Unknown
Language
with Huw Lemmey
Online Reading, Discussion, 10 Jun 2020, 18:00
Long before the collapse of the Information Age, in the twelfth century since the appearance of the prophet Christ, young Hildegard of Bingen finds grace in the ruins of her medieval world. In this story of survival and miracles, Hildegard encounters love, both queer and divine, and great peril. Unknown Language is a mutant fiction of speculative mysticism, featuring time travel, visions and inner paths to outer space.
There are two ways to attend:
Public livestream with the possibility to ask questions via chat. Video-meeting with the possibility of audiovisual participation in the discussion (registration required)

Domestic
Optimism
With Emma Wolf-Haugh
Online Performance, Discussion 17 Jun 2020, 18:00

Video-meeting with limited number of participants, please register online.
Please note that there will be no public livestream of this event.

ed. by Carla Benedetti, Manuele Gragnolati, and Davide Luglio
Macerata: Quodlibet, 2020
