All she asked him for was a mark. Always high on the thigh. A mark that only she would see. To help her have him there in absentia… This is how Olga used to live; this is how she grew up. A lifetime with a reticent father, with the secret of her dead mother, with her absent lover. A lifetime of books, a Paper Life. It took years for her to enter her Zone of Desires. But there was Stalker, the ferryman. Thus, Olga, half cat, half lamb, returned to the Killer’s crossroads, to the house of the Professor. She would call it ‘Eternal Return’. The absolute, weird, destructive face of Terrorism in Love, Literature, Politics. Stalker becomes a holocaust and the Professor, silent before the Sacrifice. The story of Olga, Orestes, who always wanders off and then returns, Marili, her other half, and the Professor. A life spent in expectation, waiting for that exact moment. The never-ending expectation, the never-ending relationship.
A tale of History, within the parallel worlds of art and life. Paper heroes that take on form outside the book and people that turn into pages, a close up, a post script, a full stop and a dash: time lost; or else, Eternal Return.
