Her lover has been in a coma for six months. Now, Valerie records a tape at his bedside, to guide him, to seduce him back to life. Now, when it’s do or die, everything she says is full of love. How can you feel and not lose yourself? How can you face the deprivation which fuels all love? How can you preserve what you can’t keep? Torn between Vienna, where she loves, and Tokyo, where she works, Valerie conjures her own love story once more and recounts the change of her feelings meticulously – up to the point when they nearly seem to have vanished.

Roger Willemsen combines scenes from his novel for the theatre to make it possible to visualise this quintessentially theatrical text. An impressive monologue about love and how one tries to live it.
