ABOUT THE CHARACTER
The piece deals through an artist’s alter ego with a fictional, broken, but still lingering lovestory between the former east and west. The character tries to ‘speak’ through her stereotyped role, but faces clichés of an overdressed, unserious, dramatical, ‘cheap’, eroticized, mailorder bride’ish, neurotic, exoticized roles and ends up being in her own personal identity muted and untranslatable. ‘Is it possible to get further then a kiss without a tongue?’ becomes a question in both personal and society level with no answer yet to be known.
