Katarzyna Minkowska and her regular collaborator and scriptwriter Tomasz Walesiak created an original script for the play – a portrait of a family in multigenerational crisis.

Tragedy brings members of a family to the family home. For some, it’s a difficult return after a long absence, whilst others have lingered there for decades. How should they talk about an incident that cannot be acknowledged or accepted? How can you make an uplifting connection with someone who, in theory, is close to you but who you know so little about? As the characters struggle with the suicide of a teenage girl they invoke more and more narratives about her. They revisit the past and mutually meddle with the webs of their own memories. They create successive layers of dreams and illusions of the unbearable reality. The fuel of their hopes and nightmares, as well as an escape from their emotions, are fear, fairytales, videogames, and religion. The mixed-up inner worlds create a vortex of images in a family gathering observed by the audience.
