EVA MEYER-KELLER (D)


DEATH IS CERTAIN

OMBRES


21.00 h

Is it possible never to forget? Who am I? Of what, by who am I made? The demons that haunt me are mine alone but come all the same from outside, from others, from the past. Our shadows must have a place in us so that we neither loose ourselves nor start again from the beginning. We must remember; we may not forget, in order to change, to act.
