Doctor Fromm’s new patient Marina is a seventeen-year-old girl who has withdrawn into a world of her own, speaks in tongues and sees headless men. As he delves into the recesses of her psyche, the Doctor is forced to reassess the divide between reality and the imagination, between normality and madness. Are the visions of a disturbed mind any more unhinged than the accepted conventions of ordinary society?
Manner’s modern, poetic classic glows with colour, passion and the lust for life. A ‘ballad on the dangers of words and blood’, the play challenges concepts of both love and normality.
Translated into English, French and German.
