For “PS: I Love U”, Nora Hansen and Josefine Reisch bring together a thoughtful selection of intimate correspondence from over 200 years. In a stage situation somewhere between a press conference and a late night show, they perform a multi-faceted collage of love songs and love letters, revealing the wide spectrum of ways to express fondness and friendship. Ranging from the 18th to the 21st century, Hansen and Reisch merge the personal correspondences, examining the shared humanity revealed in them. The audience is invited to join them in their study of love, in search of inspiration and practical advice.
The performance at KW is the fifth iteration of „PS: I Love U“. Most recent performances took place at Simultanhalle, Köln (2021) and Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck, Remagen (2018). Past readings have included thoughts by Gluck, Nesta Obermeier, Rihanna, James Joyce, Stevie Wonder, Nora Barnacle, Octavia E. Butler, Beyoncé Knowles, Virginia Woolf, Nina Simone, Radclyffe Hall, Paula Modersohn-Becker, SIA, Simone de Beauvoir, Toni Braxton and many more.
