The selected poems by Ales Steger are distinguished by their exceptional musicality and breadth of interpretative possibilities.
The Slovenian poet, who performs his poems in the original and, depending on the audience, in translations, has been performing with accordionist and composer Jure Tori for seven years. Over time, a unique fusion of music and lyrics has emerged, a performative ritual based on haunting compositions, laconically entertaining and accessible lyrics, and an energetic performance that combines the celestial and the earthly. Some of the past performances: Poetry Festival Shanghai, Literaturfest Munich, Literaturfestival Leukerbad, International Poetry Festival Genova, Marche de la Poesie, Paris, Literarisches Colloquium, Berlin, Minoriten Graz, Litfest Rijeka, Buchmesse Frankfurt,.
