A poetic summer evening for Rilke lovers
With Rilke in the Castle Park, an outdoor theater of rare intensity opens at Castle Höfling. Eva Sixt and Joseph Berlinger condense the life, work, and impact of Rainer Maria Rilke into a literary experience that does not rely on mere illustration but on the artistry of language, atmosphere, and the vibrant closeness between stage and audience.
Rilke in the mirror of his formative women
The focus is on a poetic web of relationships: Marie von Thurn und Taxis, Lou Andreas-Salomé, and Baladine Klossowska appear not as decorative accessories but as intellectual counterparts. This creates a narrative reading of Rilke's life stages that makes the author perceivable as a seeker, observer, and relative of modernity.
A castle park as a literary stage
Castle Höfling lends the production its own resonant space. The historical ambiance, the openness of the park, and the evening reading atmosphere create that rare tension where theater and literature intersect. Especially outdoors, Rilke's language unfolds its full delicacy: sensual, musical, awake to the nuances of desire and memory.
EEAT in theater format
The production convincingly combines experience, expertise, and cultural authority. Eva Sixt is present as an author and actress, Joseph Berlinger as a director and prominent theater author. The literary foundation reaches back to Rilke's memorial year, which in 2026 focuses on one of the most significant poets of literary modernity. The evening is aimed at an audience seeking more than a classic reading: a poetic event that makes Rilke shine in the here and now.
What visitors can expect
Those who come to Castle Höfling that evening will experience an outdoor play with rich language, strong imagery, and an ensemble that intelligently and emotionally opens Rilke's cosmos. A visit promises literary depth, atmospheric intensity, and an evening that resonates long after. Those wishing to experience Rilke live should not miss this date.
