VALERIE ECKSTEIN (I. A. M. Horn)

Two different characters are on stage: Valerie and a female observer-narrator;  various life situations are briefly focused on. The two protagonists - though quite different the one from the other - gradually reach a closeness, a likeness in their expression: the narrator - who observes like a voyeur, and feeds like a vampire - sees as if in a mirror image, how a woman (a theatregoer) allows herself to enter this adventure, for a while, with Valerie, in the last resort, the woman narrator will be able to give an account of the secret crime element in her story, she will hint at a knowledge and carry it into the heads and minds of the spectators, to initiate a similarly fruitful encounter (or conception) as happened to her, in meeting and coming to terms with Valerie.
