A wealthy businessman comes to the very heart of the harbor district with the clear goal of ending his life. But a stranger pulls him out of the water, and now the locals living in this area demand to return everything that life did not give them. It's a story about people who should never have met, but they did - in an imaginary no man's land, existing on the fringes of society, on the outskirts of every city in the world.
The play was directed by one of the most interesting and promising directors of the young generation, Adomas Juška. The plays created by him are constantly mentioned by critics among the most memorable events of the theater.
A. Juška debuted in 2018. In the State Youth Theater with the play "Šveikas" (based on Jaroslav Hašek), he created four more plays there: "Fictions" (based on Jorge Luis Borges), "Sleeping Brother" (based on Robert Schneider), "Don Quixote" (based on Miguel de Cervantes) , "Guache".
"It seems nightmarish to me to live in a world where everything is clear, where there is nothing new or mysterious left. I remember how things and phenomena looked in my childhood - fantastic, wonderful, unfathomable. After all, this is how the world really is, only a person grows up and no longer knows how to see it in its true form. Out of spiritual laziness we hide it under the armor of familiarity. We say "I know what it is" and thus kill our curiosity. Art is the sword that cuts through this armor, bringing to the surface the strangeness and extraordinaryness of the world around us."
