Like a comet, Ingeborg Bachmann appeared in the literary sky of postwar Germany and became a legend even in her lifetime. In her »Hommage à Maria Callas«, a work that is equally directed towards herself, it says that »she lived on a razorblade«. Bachmann was a master in the field of language, a field which according to her was limited by the world, perceived in pain and pleasure. On the great poet’s 100th birthday, star actress Ursina Lardi from the Berlin Schaubühne expresses the brightness of this unique language – but not without music, to which Ingeborg Bachmann felt an intimate connection throughout her whole life.
