First Act

1th Stage
The scene unfolds in a female ward of the camp and the scene consists of condominiums, wooden beds separated by a narrow window, from where it enters any 30΄΄the light of a projector that illuminates the scene.
In beds sleeping young women.
Two of the prisoners have their eyes wide open and discuss.
RUTH
Sarah slept?
SARAH
I slept, Ruth, with eyes wide open, and dreamed that Frau Baum lost her whistle and her  voice … Ruth … it is not came out!
RUTH
That is, they forgot us, let us dream!
SARAH
It’s only us left!
RUTH
Regardless, at last, for something to count on our misery!
SARAH
Otherwise, my dear, will never learn what is happiness.
RUTH
I tasted  daily the happiness, Sarah, … touching it with the tips of my fingers, but does not recognize!
I did not know that happiness is a warm piece of bread …
A kiss on the lips …
A smile from Jeri,he I will not see again ever … as I live …
SARAH
At least you have the time and touched it, lucky!
I will go and will not know how or like … unless it .. Ruth
RUTH
Do not spelled out …
You  are wrong!
SARAH
Nor can think of?
RUTH
Listen to me … I do not want to suffer when the time comes!
Death is separation …
A trip to the loneliness of yourself!
Endure the  death better, when your eyes do not hug each other, when closed forever!
SARAH
And don’t feel terror in the freezing cold of your loneliness?
RUTH
Terror you feel anyway …
But without love death waiting for him to come earlier to escape!
SARAH
And if you’re wrong?
RUTH
Sarah, sweetie,is your own life, yours and  the death,which having others decide for you …
Choose how you will be die !
SARAH
I do’nt want to listen you another … I’m terrified!
Got me in a game of mind that no one wins!
Have pity on me, and let me think it might not be that way!
RUTH

I wish everything was different … but they are not and they can’t make the same things as before … Even though sometimes open the doors of hell and get away from the cold breath of death!

SARAH
So, without confessing,they have a spark of hope the words that let you escape, my dear Ruth!
“If ever open the doors of hell …” So said …
RUTH
So I said … It’s true … but deep down I do not think will happen eventually …
All of us will end up on the gas sooner or later …
They do not want witnesses the monsters …
They will not leave behind evidence to trial sometime for crimes that committed.
SARAH
And finally I leave without a kiss on my lips, alone and desolate, between themselves and desert creatures with nails hammered on wall of the chamber and the gas will be uprooting my guts?
RUTH
(Turning the palms to her ears)
Shut up … I can not hear all this again and again ..
SARAH
I took a decision … and what is to happen, let it be …
I love him, Ruth … I loved him from the first day I saw him …
It’s time to show him that …
RUTH
No need, silly, he show it was a time, looking to find you the look of just coming in factory … and when you are satisfied that there begins to mumble songs of the homeland that we lost!
(I)
Sarah, beloved
(With male bass voice)
“Let me lose myself
in color of your eyes!
Let me dream
the taste of your kiss!
Circe, you, the world
that the wave with washed,
ashes to be
and vanish forever!
What if ash to be
and the wind to disperse
away from you,
I’ll be a drop of rain,
to be with you! ”
SARAH
So, are you saying that the m’agapaei Gideon!
So is not it?
Ruth
Dear Sarah, love, a landscape of death, no.
There is a thirst for life.
And you’re the water, searching for the Gideon drink to psedipsasei!
SARAH
Ruth, by trying to confuse?
Ruth
To try to land, not the pain is unbearable, which will reap your guts!
SARAH
Meaning?
Ruth
Have you noticed the men in Fabrica?
SARAH
What do you mean?
Ruth
What you get it!
Minimum stay and then disappear to!
SARAH
Jacques is … us …
Ruth
Only three months, sweetie … only three months!
SARAH
Stop, please, I can not s’akouo …
I can not think …
There can not be in fear …
I want to leave, to finish last!
Ruth
Sarah, calm down and close your eyes finally …
Soon dawn …
The frau Baum, will whisper!
