NOCTURNE N° 31

København

Copenhagen

07:05 · SPOKEN IN ENGLISH · READ BY NIANDER WALLACE

BEHIND THE DOOR · LISTEN TO THE OPENING BELOW

Midsummer, a sauna at the end of a jetty, a lake that holds the light. In the north in June there is no last train and no morning to end it — only this, for as long as you want it.

Headphones. Lights off. Lie down before you press play.

The piece is in the second person. The opening lines are below; the rest is only spoken.

THE OPENING · FREE

This nocturne is spoken for adults. If you are of age, open it.

Acquire the full piece

The full nocturne is spoken behind the door. Acquire it as a single piece, or step inside the Maison where every nocturne is open to you.

Acquisition opens with the door. For now, request it.

OPENING LINES

It is almost midnight, and it is not dark. It will not get dark.

You are in the sauna at the end of the jetty. Wood, heat, one small window. You came here to be alone. You are not alone.

You let the towel fall. Not off — open. The sun does not set. Neither do I.

— THE REST IS SPOKEN

Further nocturnes are spoken behind the door.
