Poesie Crepuscolari: Onirico Notturno è una raccolta di poesie che esplora le profondità dell'animo umano, oscillando tra sogno e realtà.

Versi dedicati alla luna evocano il fascino della notte e le sue promesse di sogni e misteri.

Zwei Sprachliebhaber präsentieren ihr Herzensprojekt. Ulrich Tukur und Christian Redl wollen an die Anfänge, an den Ursprung von Theater erinnern: den Text, die Sprache mit der man eine gute Geschichte erzählt. Neben ihren Lieblingsgedichten haben sie sich dazu eine zu Unrecht fast in Vergessenheit geratene Form ausgesucht: Die Ballade. Wie der Kriminalroman lebt sie von Spannungsmomenten und Knalleffekten. Und wie in diesem verwandten Genre geht es immer um Mord, Ehebruch, Verführung, Kindsmord und unerwiderter Liebe.
