Friday, November 13, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. IT'S GOOD TO BE HERE - Reading and piano at the Pierre Gianadda Foundation PAULA M.-BECKER / RAINER MARIA RILKE CORRESPONDENCE (1900–1907)By Alexandre Pateau, with Olivia Seigne reading and Beatrice Berrut at the piano. To mark the 100th anniversary of Rainer Maria Rilke’s death, Les Cellules Poétiques, in collaboration with the Pierre Gianadda Foundation and the Rilke Foundation, present a musical evening dedicated to the correspondence exchanged by the poet between 1900 and 1907 with his friend, the painter Paula Modersohn-Becker. Their moving dialogue—woven with tender confidences, profound reflections on art and life, but also tensions and rifts—spanned the years 1900 to 1907 —until the tragic death of one of the pioneers of modern art and women’s emancipation. In conjunction with: RODIN ACCORDING TO RILKE Organized by the Rodin Museum, Paris. Alongside them, pianist Beatrice Berrut performs her own transcriptions of Gustav Mahler’s symphonies, which date from the same period as the painter’s and poet’s first major works—a musical mirror in which all of nature, as sung by Rilke and painted by Paula Modersohn-Becker, comes to life.Between letters and music, the poignant relationship that unites these two artists takes shape: one of the most unique creative friendships of the past century.Paula Modersohn-Becker, a painter who remained little known—even overlooked—in art history for a long time, expresses herself in her letters with great freedom of tone. Rilke, for his part, appears in these letters as someone searching for his own voice. These exchanges shed light both on their era and on two personal journeys marked by artistic creation.The evening will conclude with a reading of *Requiem for a Friend*, a long poem composed by Rilke one year after Paula Modersohn-Becker’s death, presented in a new French translation by Alexandre Pateau.TICKET PRICES FOR THE EVENINGAdmission: CHF 30.-Raiffeisen cardholders (MemberPlus): CHF 15.-Friends of the Foundation or Friends of the Poetic Cells: CHF 15.-The gardens will be open to the public from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., as a prelude to the performance.
