(Aufatme ich)

(…)

Ich hebe ab und atme auf, bin sowieso

Sehr sinnenhaft und lebensfroh

Und golden glänzen meine Larifariflügel

(...)*

The play unfolds in the echo of the poet Robert Schindel's resonant words. Equipped with a "Larifariflügel" (little wings), the protagonist, seemingly lifted from the world's hardships, sails "jolly of life" over a "magnificent," perhaps still nocturnal landscape "toward the morning." Seen from a bird's eye view, even the "Belsen Hill" appears lovely. The burning world, recently conjured, is past yet present.

Down below, however, we listen, amidst the reverberation, to a resonant landscape. Perhaps it resembles the hearts conjured by Semier Insayif...

dein schatten

boden

reißt mir ein loch

ins erinnern

zerrt mich

mein herz

aus dem leib

und haut ab**
