It tells several parallel stories: the story of Elisio and Fadoul, two illegal immigrants: of Rosa, Franz and Rosa's embittered mother; of the lonely Frau Habersatt apologising for crimes she did not commit; of Absolute, the blind pole dancer; and of Ella, an ageing philosopher, who has burned her books. A strange collection of people trying to make sense of their fragmented lives. This play investigates questions of morality, choice and guilt, told with often a sardonic sense of humour. But while it delves deeply into these questions, it also underscores the essential strength of people, their determination to survive and to give meaning to their lives.
