This short story explores the interaction between voyeurism, music, gender roles, the impossibility of touching, and the attempt to arrest time in Werner Schroeter’s 1972 film The Death of Maria Malibran. It dramatizes the space generated by looking at the film’s unusual tableaus as part of a theater audience and fictionally details the production itself and the creative impulses of its director.
