In her play the second time Simona Semenič further develops her autobiographical performance I, the Victim (2007) in which she addressed close encounters with dark forces of this or another kind. She spoke of her experience with epilepsy and the health care system, of genital herpes and the health care system as well of some other stuff and the health care system. The performance the second time is a thematic continuation of the first solo: there where the first one concludes, the second takes on. Literally. "Let me smoke” – the last line in the performance I, the Victim – is the first line of the performance the second time. Simona strolls through the recent years in which she confronted in different ways the worsening of her epilepsy and, inevitably, the health care system.
