I´LL BE YOUR MIRROR
ABOUT THE PIECE
// in Collaboration: mit dem Theater im Ballsaal
// World premiere: 28. November, 2003 im Theater im Ballsaal, Bonn
Two nearly forgotten divas in their final performance. One wishes to be like the other, but cannot. Their admiration for each other becomes a continuous circling. A pattern of entanglement. I´LL BE YOUR MIRROR is a breathtaking dialogue and an allegory of self-mockery between one diva and her reflection which escalates into a "war of roses" ripe for the stage
