Jaqueline Scheiber

In the organizer's words:

A mismatched couple, an old apartment and a night that changes everything. A painful and beautiful book about love, life and what remains. The walls of the old Viennese apartment where Klara and Balázs live are three meters thirty high. Between creaking parquet floors and wide-open double doors, they are in the process of building a life together. But one night everything changes, Balázs lies motionless in the bed they share and a race against time begins. What remains of a love when a life ends? Who are you when you have left your home country and speak a foreign language? Does history count - or perhaps just a coffee cup in the sink, a last look in the mirror? And when all that slips away, can you stop time?

An intense, visually rich chamber play that delves deep into the existential questions of life, tells of love and the inability to lose it. A book that grounds you and at the same time makes you feel weightless.
