About this Event
Rilke - One Million Words connects an actor in the present with a poet from the past. It tells the story of a writer who, for nearly a year, struggles to create poetry and can only express himself through letters. An actor uses these letters to navigate his own challenges in a world where even his name feels foreign, shaking the foundations of his identity. Together, the poet and the actor explore themes of love, the creative process, and a sense of not belonging, topics that resonate deeply in today's world.
Originally developed in Brazil, the English-language production premiered in New York at Torn Page in January 2025 and now arrives in Los Angeles for its West Coast premiere, presented in the centennial year marking 100 years since Rainer Maria Rilke’s passing (1875–1926).
