The Harbour Front Literature Festival is looking forward to an evening between music and literature, passion and rupture, genius and abyss. »Ein Glück ohne Ruh – Alma & Gustav Mahler« is a multi-faceted homage to one of the most famous and contradictory artistic marriages in music history – told from letters, diaries and memories, interspersed with songs by the two protagonists. The actors Corinna Harfouch and Peter Lohmeyer read from the letters of Alma and Gustav Mahler, from Alma’s autobiography »Mein Leben«, her »Memories of Gustav Mahler« and from texts by contemporaries such as Alban Berg, Johannes Brahms, Sigmund Freud, Arnold Schönberg, Jean Sibelius and others. In musical alternation, works by Gustav Mahler and Alma Mahler will be performed by Roman Trekel and Hideyo Harada – a haunting combination of language, sound and inner turmoil. An evening about a love that was exhausted by its own intensity – and about two personalities who left their artistic mark in very different ways.
