I prefer to cry in toilets

Splashing around in privileges, saying goodbye to courage, the raspberry-red scent of corpses and filter coffee at the wake: with "Ich weine am liebsten in Klos" (I prefer to cry in toilets), writer Martina Caluori creates poems and fragments that take literature into new spaces and sound spectrums - together with musician Marcel Gschwend aka Bit-Tuner.

"Ich weine am liebsten in Klos" (I prefer to cry in toilets) circles around the long goodbye in an unusually concise way and in ever new fascinating linguistic images. Bit-Tuner takes these texts musically, edits and interprets them. The artistic encounter opens up a new cosmos of language and sound, which takes the readers and the live audience on a journey that is as boundless as it is resonant.
