Violetta Valéry sells her time and body to clients both near and far. Her life as a Parisian courtesan provides her with every luxury. But when she is diagnosed with a terminal illness, her world is shattered in an instant.


With La Traviata, or ‘the one who’s gone astray’, Nicola Raab reimagines Giuseppe Verdi’s classic about love and suffering as the escape of a modern woman who loses herself in dreamscapes and phantasms—until she is forced to confront the inevitable. In a complex layering of associations and motifs, the lonely protagonist drifts between reality and escapist fantasy, between love and despair.
