Waiting for the performance

Jonathan Liechti

Two young actresses secretly throw peanuts at the audience under the curtain. They are part of the amateur theater ensemble Johannes, preparing for the upcoming performance: putting on costumes, powdering their noses. Taking a deep breath. Reading the text. A quiet prayer. Taking a deep breath. The actress opens her eyes: the wait for her performance is over.
