Dea Loher
We are in the middle of a big city. What do we see? In a restaurant, a woman uses her sick mother as a reason for not moving in with her boyfriend. In a bike store, a man writes a love poem into the void. In the park, a woman convinces another to vote in favor of a new gun law. Anglers discover dead fish in a contaminated river. Again and again, our gaze wanders to the apartment of the couple Erik and Nino, who, almost unintentionally, are slowly living apart.
The play paints a panorama of a society in which people are approachable and shy, pleasure-seeking and fearful. Only the eldest, Mrs. Yamamoto, leaves her door open to create a draught so that the world can come in - in all its beauty and cruelty.
