Poetry and Performance: A Cross-Cultural Evening at the Goethe-Institut Delhi

What happens when cities, landscapes, and emotions collide with creativity?

After two intensive days of creative writing and poetry workshops as part of the training programme “Leaf by Leaf / Line by Line”, participants are ready to share their words with the world. Led by award-winning German poet and performer Pauline Füg and celebrated Indian writer Rachit Sharma, this creative workshop explored the art of poetic expression through the lens of nature, urban spaces, and personal experience.

Now, the stage is set

We invite you to an inspiring evening of live poetry on August 10, from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM, at the Goethe-Institut Delhi. Participants will present their original texts—some written during the workshop, others from their own creative journeys—followed by performances by the workshop leaders themselves. Expect a dynamic mix of voices, with poems performed in both English and German (the latter accompanied by English translations), echoing across cultures and landscapes.

Come celebrate words that move, connect, and inspire.

Entry is free. All poetry lovers, language enthusiasts, and curious minds are welcome!
