A play brimming with dramatic expression, poetic impression, playfulness and flirtatiousness with the ironic criticism of the world, opening different possibilities for interpretation. We can discover the sense either in the carnality of the matter, which comes to life in front of us in the form of object theatre, or in the music dramaturgy of the piece, at times remarkably concert-like. We can either recognise ourselves in the performance as a charge in a social sanatorium or we can simply give in to the current of associations in the session, filled with clever turns. Because: "The devil knows what this all is!"
Performance under the Microscope
The performance is accompanied by the workshop Under the Microscope: Session as an experiential preparation for attending the performance and a reflection after it.
