Clara is fleeing from Love - from Rio to Frankfurt at half past ten. That's the truth. Everything else may be entirely made-up.
Clara is in her bedroom, the departure point for her escape route. Immediately becoming her confidantes, we are told she makes up stories, and must tell them to survive. Through poetry, music and humour, we are swayed into strange scenarios, tales of Love in personified form, and profound reflections on death.
I have a flight to Frankfurt at half past ten, a new monologue by Brazilian writer Kika Hamaoui, follows a woman's journey from tragedy towards freedom. The play explores the complex nature of love and belonging on the face of migration. Performed by a bilingual actor, it retains the rhythms of the Portuguese language, enhanced by projection and physicality. I have a flight... embodies what happens inside a chaotic and imaginative mind on the cusp of life-changing events.
