Julia Trompeter (born 1980 Siegburg), after many years of producing poetry, numerous readings and publications in magazines and anthologies, began with Xaver Römer in 2009 the performative project “Sprechduette”, which translates poetic texts into songs and language that is part polyphonic, part dialogic (sprachduette). Two CDs came out of this work in 2010 (“Gnip-Gnop” and “PaPaPst”). Pieces of these have been broadcast multiple times by SWR, have run in the Mainzer Kulturtelefon, and were performed at numerous live appearances. In the same year, Trompeter also began writing prose, and in 2011 was chosen for the 18th Open Mike.
In the event “Catastrophes/Forms”, Römer and Trompeter will present Sprechduette, based partly on excerpts from Paul van Ostaijen’s 1921 book of poems “Occupied City”, and partly on sections from Thomas Kling’s 1999 cycle “The First World War”.
In 2012 she received a Rolf-Dieter-Brinkmann Scholarship from the city of Cologne, in 2013 she received a grant from the Art Foundation NRW. She has been working on her first novel, “Die Mittlerin”, which will be published in Autumn of 2014 through Schöffling & Co.
Trompeter received her PhD in classical philosophy and works as a researcher at Ruhr-Universität Bochum.
