Jeremias: Eine dramatische Dichtung in neun Bildern

A striking poetic drama opens on a moon‑lit Jerusalem rooftop, where the prophet Jeremiah wrestles with frantic visions and a city on the brink of ruin. His verses tumble in a feverish rhythm, blending desperate cries with haunting images of fire, night and silent walls. The language is dense yet vivid, pulling listeners into the interior turmoil of a man who feels both the weight of divine warning and the isolation of his own restless mind.

The work unfolds in nine lyrical “pictures,” each a scene of escalating tension—from prophetic awakenings to looming threats at the city’s gates. Alongside a cast of kings, priests, soldiers and ordinary folk, Jeremiah’s internal battle becomes a mirror for the larger collapse of his world. Listeners are invited to experience the raw intensity of a prophetic voice caught between revelation and madness, set against the timeless backdrop of a city teetering on its final breath.
