Synopsis:

In this play of mystification, an arsonist prowls through a theater grumbling about the presence of spectators. Will they stop him burning down the corrupt, inhuman theater he works in? Thus begins a violent power-play that not only draws the entire company into conflict, it also separates the rebels from the sycophants in a way that nobody could have expected. In the age-old tradition of Russian theater, this piece tackles the timeless problems of personal freedom and inner independence running up against the brick wall of civic responsibility.
