The protagonist, who is trying to approach his superior to ask for a raise, is constrained to chatter about with the secretary or walk up and down in the corridor because of his boss’s absence. Subject to many variables from the secretary’s previous night to the boss’s mood, “the dream of getting raise” loses its significance in a hilarious, absurd loop. The play, where all possibilities composed around a specific theme become grotesque with endless recursions, gradually makes its audience the main subject. In fact, it is the audiences walking in a labyrinth and trying to find a way out.
