Berlin, 1928. An « unknown woman », the mistress of a writer named Salter, has been recognised in the street by an Italian photographer. Supposedly, she is none other than Lucia, who has gone missing for ten years. Her husband Bruno has been looking for her ever since. But who is she really, this woman who seems to want to forget her past in a life of debauchery? Half detective story, half existential fable, As You Desire Me is set against a backdrop of ruin, in a Europe yet again heading for destruction. After Suddenly Last Summer and Let You Be, Stéphane Braunschweig continues his theatrical inquiry into the enigmas of identity, the after-effects of trauma, the mind games and role plays that help us survive.
