Le
rendez-vous
Kitchen; red cupboard, black table, red and black chairs, two plates
- one black, one red. One contains red fruit, the other black vegetables. |
Two
women; one present and visible, wearing black sunglasses and black
clothing, the other woman is hidden behind a black screen. The first
woman is reading a few pages out of a book translated from German
into Hebrew. It is a diary of an anonymous German woman, written
during the bombing of Berlin in WWII. The woman in the diary is
reading about a meal which was served to a different woman, who
wasn’t hungry. The German woman scratches the words in the
book that describe an uneaten meal.
The first woman reads a few pages out of a Hebrew translation of
the Polish book Beginning and End, by a Polish poet writing
about the “children of the period”;
"… Oh even a conference table, upon whose shape
There was debating for months:
Around which table should we have give and take
About life and death, circle or square.”
