This letter written by André Gorz, philosopher, thinker and journalist, when he was 82 years old, is intended for his wife Dorine. It forcefully retraces their life as lovers, companions, partners: the history of a love. Dirk Roofthooft, alone on the stage, will put flesh and blood into this text to convey the trembling and the flaws of these words, to relate a love that holds out against death itself.

‘On reading this text, I was overwhelmed by the fact that this intimate relationship could come and fit into a wider picture. These two uprooted beings were bonded together by ‘what they had that was least sociable’, and that bond became a ‘pied-à-terre’, where they felt in security and could exist and go towards the world.’ – Coline Struyf
