Directed by
Hunor Horvath
By
Jon Fosse
In a nameless city, two strangers meet by chance: a businessman who sleepwalks through his days and a woman who has long lost herself. What at first seems like a one-night stand triggers an existential crisis that questions everything - life, words, time. Maybe she is a prostitute. Or an angel. Maybe he’s just a lost man. Or someone who, through her, is led 'beyond'. Or the other way around. The text is a prayer about the need for liberation from a life that no one really lives anymore.
Hunor Horvath’s staging looks for the sacred moment manifesting in the profane. What is happening on stage is not just a story between a man and a woman, but a mirror of our fear of closeness, transformation, truth, but also disappointment. But beyond all this, there are much subtler spiritual stakes: love as revelation, the encounter as a form of communion, the body as a ritual instrument.
