the correspondence between Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West" staged reading
presented by the Harbour Front Literature Festival Hamburg
The Harbour Front Literature Festival is looking forward to an outstanding literary and emotional encounter between two actresses with one of the most beautiful exchanges of letters of the 20th century. Jasna Fritzi Bauer and Luise Wolfram lend voice and presence to the love and life story of Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West - an evening about longing, language and the great power of love.
About the program:
"I have missed you. I miss you. I will miss you. And if you don't believe that, you're a long-eared owl and donkey."
At a dinner party in 1922, the writer Virginia Woolf meets the author and celebrated aristocrat Vita Sackville-West. It is the beginning of a consuming passion and a deep friendship that inspires the literary work of both; a connection that defies time, in which both women find and invent each other and explore love in their minds and hearts.
Jasna Fritzi Bauer and Luise Wolfram brilliantly read this pas de deux of ink and paper, bringing to life one of the great love stories of the 20th century and resurrecting two extraordinary women in the midst of their world and their time, entangled in the small everyday things and great love.
