première
A woman during a long convalescence, a friend constantly at her side, occasional visits. The two women are viewed in the same place, which could be a hospital room. It may be during the same day or over many different days. If the place is a hospital, you should know how to pray. If time is the Western Now, we should be able to believe. Two existences, two women, two friends confronting & communicating with one another. While internal time promotes hope, external time – be it a circumstance, an incident, a dead political-ethical space imposes despair. Paul of Tarsus recalled Abraham’s unshakable spirit to the Romans, one which “had faith, hoping against all hope”; Giorgio Agamben affirmed his belief that thought is the courage of despair. From this range of inspirations an attempt is made is to relate a human comedy, one which alternates emotional despair with a hysterical atmosphere and interludes of pure farce.
