Patience

[Text nur in englischer Sprache verfügbar] Patience is what is asked of us.
Patience contains a promise.
This promise is for a long anticipated change. Patience includes a prolonging of waiting.
Patience contains endurance.
Things will not change, not for the better anyway, but one must endure.
Patience is connected with suffering but also sympathy and acknowledgement of the other. Stereotypically associated with women, patience is present in women's efforts, lament and predicaments.
In this performance the different voices of Patience, internal and external, will be heard.
Voices will overlap, compete, be silent and submit.
Which voice is mine?
What am I being patient for?
