A stage adaptation of Boris Vian's novel - one of the most unusual in the theatre's repertoire. The audience of the play becomes passive participants in a terrifying game of dehumanization. The action unfolds in a village on the edge of an abyss. It is inhabited by very strange people: a feeble-minded father and children with paranormal abilities, an ideological priest, a righteous boatman, and an obsessed psychiatrist. However, the main character in the play is love. It is an inhuman maternal love that tears the heart apart and destroys from the shadows.
