Letter to the editor

An anonymous reader and spectator of the playwright and performer Simona Semenič tries to establish contact with the playwright with the help of performative writing via an open letter. She studies Simona Semenič’s playwriting and her “self-performing” in autobiographical performances, or the victim trilogy, from the point of view of the never-clarified and never-overcome drama or dramatic relationship between the audience and the author. In the second part of the trilogy, entitled the second time, the audience is placed on stage, under the spotlights, with a mic in their hands, while Simona Semenič in the spectacular role of imegavictim in a golden dress and golden sandals with high heels sits on a bar stool and says nothing for the whole time. “And perhaps this is all she’s wanted to say.”
