There is no lost time: Literature and accordion in Karlsruhe
On Thursday, November 12, 2026, the quiet power of language merges with the breathing tonal color of the accordion at the Petrus-Jakobus Church in Karlsruhe. Paul Blau reads prose miniatures and poetry, while Helga Betsarkis opens musical spaces with her accordion. The event starts at 6:00 PM.
When words become sound
Paul Blau's texts approach the theme of time not with grand explanations, but through observation, memory and poetic condensation. His prose miniatures and poems create interstices in which thoughts resonate and seemingly incidental images develop their own depth.
Accordion music with quiet intensity
Helga Betsarkis presents an independent musical language alongside the texts. The accordion brings breath, movement, and colorful tension to the evening. Between reading and instrumental music arises an unusual mélange, in which language, rhythm, and sound correspond with each other.
A concert experience beyond tempo
The Petrus-Jakobus Church provides the perfect setting for this concentrated literary and musical experience. Acoustics, space, and audience mood support a stage performance that relies not on volume, but on attention. The orchestration of the evening emerges from the interplay of voice, silence, and accordion sound.
Paul Blau as a genre-crossing artist
Paul Blau works across genres in literature, music, photography, and visual arts. The art portal Baden-Württemberg describes him as a total artist who does not conform to any single designation. His works connect texts and images into independent perceptual spaces, inviting an intentional experience of time.
Conclusion: An evening to pause
There is no lost time promises a concentrated concert experience for everyone who wants to experience literature and music in an unusual combination. Those who engage with the quiet intensity of Paul Blau's texts and Helga Betsarkis's accordion playing will discover an evening between reading, sound art, and poetic reflection. The event begins on November 12, 2026, at 6:00 PM at the Petrus-Jakobus Church in Karlsruhe.
