Description

In a cracked, empty room of a crumbling building, a weary yet radiant figure named Cordatus sits on the floor, his voice measured and full of quiet affection. A teenage girl, Tamura, wanders in, repeatedly pleading for a mysterious “animal in her belly” to be cut out, while the solemn Cordatus calmly insists that nothing is there. Into this tense tableau steps Sanna, a primly dressed sister‑figure, whose cautious curiosity soon triggers a surreal exchange about love, pain, and the invisible forces that bind them.

The drama unfolds as the three characters navigate a strange ritual of reassurance and accusation, each line layered with paradoxical tenderness and subtle menace. Themes of spiritual longing, the burden of unseen wounds, and the paradox of love that both heals and wounds are explored through stark, poetic dialogue. Listeners are drawn into an atmospheric, almost ritualistic world where every pause feels like a prayer and every word reverberates with a timeless, unsettling grace.

About the author

Alfred Brust

Alfred Brust

1891–1934

An East Prussian writer shaped by journalism, war, and the restless energy of Expressionism, he wrote dramas, poems, and novels that often bring intense emotion and spiritual searching together. Though he died young in 1934, his work remains tied to the literary culture of early 20th-century Germany.
