Life? or theatre?

(…)
Daberlohn:
‘ Nevertheless, you have the technique and the voice that permit you to be the greatest singer on earth. You still have the hunger, I just mentioned.
Because of comedy and commitments you have forgotten something like freedom exists.’
 “ Do you know Nietzsche’s line:” learn to sing, oh my soul?’
‘ What else does it mean then the urge to freedom?
And for me freedom equals singing.
But enough of theory.’

Paulinka:
‘Lets start singing.’
‘Bist du bei mir,geh mit Freuden,zum sterben und zu meiner Ruh.’
 
Daberlohn:

'It sounded a bit unnatural, that’s not how you usually sound.
I have to go now but tomorrow morning about ten o’clock you will see me again'

Life or Theater?by Charlotte Salomon]
