Poems on demand between shroud and hearse with word surfer Axel Garbelmann

This man can think of something for everything: Axel Garbelmann. The self-proclaimed word surfer has already appeared in many formations in northern Hesse - as part of the improv theatre group ImproKS, as a member of the band Caro Kiste Kontrabass, reciting poetry in a duo to the sound of bassist Sven Krug or even spontaneously writing poetry and entertaining alone at poetry slams, at weddings, as a presenter or sometimes quietly in the duo Tomine & Pan. Born in Einbeck, he moves around the German language like a surfer on a wave. He skilfully translates spontaneous thoughts into printable poetry - an occasion to let him loose on the exhibits of the permanent exhibition of the Museum of Sepulchral Culture at the Museum Night 2024.

The concept of POESIS MORTUM - Poems on demand between shroud and hearse is: none. Together with a group of visitors, Axel Garbelmann moves through the exhibition and poems on ‘stop’. How does that work? Come and see for yourself and be surprised by this very special and quite stirring approach to the topics of dying, death and mourning.
