Sweethearts

The piece begins with one woman reading the text in English while the other does an onthespot translation into German Their roles periodically flip and at some points both are speaking entirely in English or in German The women read a series of onesentence instructions that tell the audience which of the screens they should be looking at The first questions are very formal like what one might have to fill out on a visa form but as it progresses the inquiries become more intimate and suggestive
