To get lost, to get lost in search of something that grants differences: A person strolls, consequently she has no destination, only directions that connect him/her to the city and than only to enstrange it again. The figure is getting lost in the multitude of unconnected elements, it is getting lost in the urban. Alexandra Pâzgu formulates around her thesis that all success stories are stories of an unexpressed lostness. This private mathematics paralyzes us all while it burns us as we are being "nostalgic for an unfulfillable future".

In the acoustic realization of this text the composer and musician Florian Kmet gives voice to hidden corners and evident niches of a metropolis. We gain insight into the protagonists view diced from the edge of the sidewalk to the asphalt. What we experience is a precisely non-fairytale journey into and through the urban desire for desaturation. The narration is performed by Roman Blumenschein; he seeks Pâzgu's words in a dilemma of a nameless forlornness and instinctive orientation in one's own and perhaps never-answered question: Is the city already or still my own? Writer, speaker and sound artist have developed this piece together, whilst their various artistic disciplines were in consistent exchange. Text inspired music, language inspired dramaturgy - and vice versa.
