Only a Day (Nur ein Tag) was first presented in English by "New Visions, New Voices" at Kennedy Centre, Washington D.C. in May 2012:
"I was moved to tears by German writer Martin Baltscheit's "Only a Day", which through the single-day life cycle of a mayfly is a piece that simply, elegantly and comically examines death and living in spite of it." (Voice after the reading at Kennedy Center, 2012)
