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.”
