About the program:
"I've missed you. I miss you. I'll miss you. And if you don't believe that, you're a long-eared owl and a donkey."
At a dinner party in 1922, the novelist Virginia Woolf met the author and celebrated aristocrat Vita Sackville-West. It was the beginning of a consuming passion and a deep friendship that inspired both their literary creations; a connection that defied time, in which both women discovered and discovered each other, exploring love in their minds and hearts.
Jasna Fritzi Bauer and Luise Wolfram brilliantly read this pas de deux of ink and paper, which brings to life one of the great love stories of the 20th century and resurrects two extraordinary women in the midst of their world and their time, entangled in the small things of everyday life and in great love.
