An Evening of Poetry and Music in Yiddish, Italian and English
Über das Event
A Literary Concert Across Languages and Borders
An intimate evening celebrating poetry, music, and the many languages of displacement and memory. yael merlini and Sarah Stefanutti invite you into their collaborative exploration of the female body as an archive—tracing emotional landscapes across Italian, English, and Yiddish.
yael merlini works at the intersection of poetry and visual art, where language becomes a political act. Her work unfolds across multiple tongues, following threads of diaspora, belonging, and linguistic identity.
Sarah Stefanutti's poetic practice explores the tender, sometimes fractured relationship between body, loss, and attention. Her words are precise and searching, attending to what persists.
Zhenja Oks, a composer and musician, sets these poems to live music, creating a soundscape that bridges the languages and opens new possibilities for meaning.
Together, they create an evening that is equally about listening—to each other, to silence, to the resonances between voice and memory.
