Aurelia, oder, Der Traum und das Leben

The story opens with a poet haunted by an unending longing for the infinite, drifting between reality and the emptiness he feels beneath his feet. He retreats into memory, clutching the fragmented monuments of his heart as if they might anchor him to a living present. This meditation sets a dream‑like tone that blurs the line between everyday life and inner vision.

Through a series of sketches, we follow his restless wanderings across Paris, the German lands, and far‑off deserts, each journey sparking fresh obsessions with culture, mysticism, and the fleeting nature of sanity. In the quiet of an asylum, he begins to record his own hallucinations and reflections, hoping that the manuscript might hold together the shards of his mind before they slip away. Listeners will be drawn into his fragile world, where poetry, travel, and the quest for meaning intertwine.
