Director Oskar Seidenberg meets at the movie set a young woman, a girl, an angel – one doesn’t exactly know. Anyway, Nanon and Seidenberg get tangled up in a long conversation, as otherwise unusual among humans. It is about purposefulness and bandy journeys through life, they question the volume of the world and the hearing of fine sounds, the laws of the seasons and the mechanisms of nourishing hope ... One will love these Nanon like a little Prince, she has a lot to say, but speaks plainly and without excitement about her wisdoms.
The narrative’s stage version had its first performance in the Stalburg Theatre Frankfurt under the direction of Manfred Roth. With Ilona Strauß as Nanon and Johann Krommenacher as Oskar Seidenberg.
