Etta Scollo Trio & Maria Schrader: “Nirgendland” — A Literary and Musical Evening in Honor of Mascha Kaléko

Meisterwerke im Berliner Dom

In honor of the German-Jewish poet Mascha Kaléko, Etta Scollo and Maria Schrader, together with the Etta Scollo Trio, are presenting an extraordinary stage project that blends music, poetry, and remembrance.

Under the title “Nirgendland,” an evening is taking shape that brings Kaléko’s subtle melancholy, humor, and linguistic precision to life once again.

Mascha Kaléko (1907–1975) was regarded as the voice of an entire generation. In the Berlin coffeehouses of the 1930s, she became an overnight sensation with her “Lyrisches Stenogrammheft” (Lyrical Shorthand Notebook)—her poems reflect the spirit of big-city life, at once incisive and tender. After fleeing the Nazis, she lived in exile in New York and later in Jerusalem. Her writings tell of uprooting, belonging, and the search for home—themes that seem more relevant today than ever. “Wherever I travel, I’m heading to Nowhere,” reads one of her poems—a line that lends its title to the evening.
