Dichterloh, "theÌýfestival of lyrics,"Ìýcarries the subtitle "Von Be- und Entgrenzung" and the works presented this year introduceÌýthe topicÌýof presence /Ìýabsence as well as the recurring motif of a farewell. Is it by chance that these themes come up at the festival amidst theÌýpandemics? Although it was not the intention of the organizers, the themes strongly relate to the present corona-world.
