Lasts 60’; no intermission.
The challenging struggle of today’s bourgeois man entrapped in her/his small world to exist and express her/himself, in which s/he loses her/his last realm of freedom by getting gradually immobilized and identical; the confusion s/he falls into while seeking tranquillity and serenity are depicted within the framework of an ordinary and tragicomic love triangle’s story. The fast-paced course of contemporary life that sweeps over identities finds its expression in a “play” composition that runs like a storm which drags the characters of “play” along. An entertaining process of spectating is created by means of the “game” played on the stage exactly in the present moment, here and now.
