Night Scales: A Fable for Klara K

Poetry. Drama. "In Tysh's tough, visceral, lacerating text, we bear witness to a surreal poetry for the stage, reminiscent of Büchner, Artaud, Genet, and Heiner Müller. Klara K leads us on an unspeakable journey through the ravages of WWII, while bearing a child who will never know these immensely moving shards of stories except through her mother's anguished memories. NIGHT SCALES is a compassionate, devastating tale of death and survival by those who '...ate [the] bruises and drank the hurt in a long swallow,' and those who still '...hoard the pain, like a gift that flowers on a dry stalk'"—Charles Borkhuis. Cover by Christian Boltanski.
