Angelika’s PromiseThe play is set in Cologne, Germany August 10 to September 2, 1923 at the height ofpost WWI inflation. Twenty-two year old political activist and artist Angelika Hoerlelives in an attic apartment at 243 Bachemer Street. Heinrich (Heinz) Hoerle, withwhom she eloped in June 1919, left her August 1922 to live with his mother and sisterMarie. All but her closest friends think that Angelika’s husband left because he fearedher tuberculosis. This play tests that theory. Angelika’s brother Willy Fick and bestfriends, the married artist couple Marta Hegemann and Anton Raederscheidt, visit thegravely ill Angelika.No one, however, is physically present. The five scenes represent the last five weeks ofher life. Angelika Fick Hoerle died September 9, 1923. Willy Fick paid 3,400,000Reichmark to bury his sister.The stage is set with a single chair. An empty picture frame doubles as a window andprojection screen. Angelika enters approximately five minutes before the play begins andbusies herself with art work. She continues to focus on her art as Comets and Shadowsby Ennio Paolo plays and images of her and her family are projected on the screen.Angelika’s Promise by Angelika Littlefield | i
