Event as part of the Art:walk festival
The live podcast "Romanticism and Revolution" takes you on an exciting journey to the myth of the Loreley - from legendary figure to modern environmental plaintiff. Discover how her story has changed over time.
In the first live podcast in the "Romanticism and Revolution" series, you will be immersed in the fascinating myth of the Loreley. Together we will trace her development from a mysterious legendary figure on the slate rock to one of the most famous figures of German Romanticism. You will learn how Heinrich Heine characterised her as a seductive bringer of mischief and how her image has continued to change in modern adaptations. Today, the Loreley has even become a critical voice pointing out environmental pollution and ecological responsibility. The podcast invites you to rediscover familiar tales and question their meaning in the course of time. (Source: Art:walk Festival)
