Well against the north wind
Play based on the novel of the same name by Daniel Glattauer.
"Write to me, Emmi. Writing is like kissing, only without lips. Writing is kissing with your head."
A wrongly sent e-mail is the prelude to an "e-mail relationship" that gradually spirals out of control. Leo Leike mistakenly receives e-mails from an unknown Emmi Rothner. Out of politeness, he replies to her. And because Emmi feels verbally attracted to him, she writes back. After some initial banter, real communication develops and, subsequently, an increasingly intimate friendship. It starts to crackle on the line. And Leo's e-mails are good against the north wind, which doesn't let Emmi sleep when it blows.
The temptation to meet in person increases. But when? This question is so upsetting for both of them that they would rather put it off for a while longer. And anyway, is there a better protected space for lived longings than the virtual one? Because in real life, Emmi is happily married and Leo is currently digesting a failed relationship. Will the feelings of love sent virtually withstand an encounter? And what if they do?
