Polylogue of restlessness. Jura Soyfer’s ballad Encounter with Frau Zukunft ’37
Jura Soyfer’s political time ballad Encounter with Frau Zukunft 37 sketches ways of dealing with future expectations at times of intensifying political crises in a historically far-reaching field of tension between historically outdated and current future perspectives. As a result of the designed dialogical openness as well as the interweaving of framework and internal action, the ballad approaches the polyphony of a polylogue, insofar as the dialogical narration, which has clearly dramatic features, which is driven forward by speech, counter-speech and indirect speech as well as the use of implicit quotations, neither takes place without interruption nor reaches a resolution.
