Festival Rilke 2026

Description

Few people have been as driven by the search for the right place as Rainer Maria Rilke. His belief that his life’s work could only be realized in the place that suited him best led him, in the final years of his life, to Switzerland and across the country. From Château de Muzot, located above Sierre in Valais, where he settled in 1921, he undertook numerous expeditions and journeys. In December 1922, he wrote to Ilse Jahr from there: “Wer weiss, wer ich bin? ich wandle und wandle mich.” (“Who knows who I am? I walk on and I change.”)
