"Requiem and Other Plays" collects six works by Elena Matacena, written
and staged between 1996 and 2012, and originally penned under the
pseudonym of Eva Maria Cantor. It is a book for dreamers, and for all
the lovers of history, literature and anthropology. It is about
mysterious presences and extreme - and therefore misunderstood -
characters. The collection contains "Jakob Kreuzberg's Manuscript",
which has been translated and published in Italian, French and Polish
and is now deposited in the Yad Vashem Archive in Jerusalem. The
publication is enriched with Maria Rosaria Omaggio's performance of the
monologue "Requiem", included in the digital version and available
online for the buyers of the print version.
