The script is about nameless women who suffer and die because of the patriarchal relations in our society. It is about the intolerance and the violence and the inaction of those who could change things, but they do nothing and they play the game. The play exposes the difference between (European) West and (European) East, the difference between those who devour and those who are being devoured. It subtly leads us to ask ourselves where our place at the global table is and to what measure we are responsible.
