A group of people who do not know each other at first sight find themselves in a strange enclosed space they cannot leave before they dig through the layers of delusional beliefs and false interpretations that fill their useless lives. So they have to work their way back to the original, the undistorted, the unbending, that is, to what they once displaced, forgot, or simply shouted over. Immediately thereafter, the door is said to open to a new dimension in which they will become fully a part of a higher consciousness and absolute harmony, where peace and blissful bliss await them. But is this really so? What will they reveal about themselves in the process? And what do they tell us at all! Is it a trap? Isn’t it, as always, something completely different????!?!!

SkRAT theatre latest production provides fundamental answers to the fundamental questions: what makes an inseparable couple, what is ejaculate good for, what should the New World Order contain, or what is needed to build a new Noah’s Ark, among other things. It will also provide a crash course in ostracization and distraction, and offer the opportunity to finally learn – HOW THE THINGS REALLY ARE!!!

The performance uses vulgar language.
