There is nothing in front of me. There is nothing underneath my feet. There is nothing to my left. There is nothing here. There is nothing beyond the door, nothing the cat is running away with. There is nothing buried underneath the tree. There is nothing bruised, nothing growing in my kidneys. There is nothing funny about a gold fish. There is nothing in the house, nothing in the milky way. There is nothing left to see. Funny.

Buchstäblich bilderlos führt For Your Eyes Only vor Augen, wie die Welt, die uns so hartnäckig umgibt, gemacht wird: Als Sprachspiel aus Erlebtem, Erzähltem und Erfundenem, aus Geschichten und ihren Resten. Das auf der Bühne Gesehene existiert nur in der Form unserer Vorstellung, unserer Imagination – als Darstellen in seiner kleinsten Größe.
