Four Almas are at disposal, with an aged diva on top, who – having returned from the dead – invites all those present to a party, and her three younger incarnations. As you follow them, you are able to assemble the pieces of Alma’s biography bit by bit. Follow one Alma into the bedroom to find her lover, Gropius, where you are voyeur to their intimacies, or perhaps better go down into the kitchen, where another Alma is haring about with Gustav Mahler? Outside, Franz Werfel travels to Jerusalem in a boat, together with a group of spectators; up in his studio, the wild Oskar Kokoschka passionately paints his beloved.

Take a journey from fin-de-siécle Vienna to World War I, from Mahler‘s funeral to Alma’s Palazzo in Venice, and be a road companion on her way to exile in the USA. Witness Franz Werfel‘s death in California, and sit side to side with Gustav Mahler on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytical couch. Everywhere, amidst hundreds of dripping candles, unfold new, astonishing scenes and arrangements.
