Wurm im Apfel is a Dublin-based poetry organisation co-founded by Kit Fryatt and Dylan Harris. Taking its name from a poem by the late German artist and writer Reinhard Döhl, Wurm presents fresh, unusual or experimental poetry to audiences all over Dublin and beyond. This special event for ILF Dublin offers an eclectic mix of music and experimental poetry from a wealth of talent, including performance poet Máighréad Medbh, sound/performance artist Vicky Langan and spoken word artist Clara Rose Thornton.

““...In fact, we don’t hear a single word from Langan during her performance. The only sounds from her mouth throughout are the ones she sends through the mixing desk to create further layers of dissonance. She occasionally draws on familiar source material: a child’s voice; footsteps; a dog barking.
But these pre-recorded samples are overlaid with more dissonant sounds until they lose their meaning to create something new instead. It’s hard not to compare her use of samples throughout to the words which fill concrete poetry, raw material that means one thing alone, but which offers something entirely new as it is re-shaped.”
