Surrogate

About Surrogate (für Männerstimme und Orchester nach einem Text von Hugo Hamilton, aus dem Zyklus Surrogate Cities): "She has been running. What for? .... What makes a young woman run? During the day? In the city? …. It makes you look like you're late. Forgotten something. Like you need to get to a bank, or a doctor or an attorney. Like you don't own a car. Dream a lot over breakfast. Say little. … It makes you look like you've been tricked. …. It makes you look like you've just been attacked. Like you've just escaped from the East. …. Like you've had a taste of freedom. Like you've seen something that made you turn back. Like you once had an idea what you wanted most. Running makes you look like you've lost something. Or stolen something. Or said something. Told lies. …. It makes you look like you know something that nobody else does. Like you once had an idea of what you wanted most. …. And running makes you look like like you`re new. …. Running in the streets makes you look like you don't belong. Like you're unemployed. Un-German.
