Synopsis

This one-act play introduces an infirm and blind man confined to a wheelchair, attended by his ailing servant. His parents, surprisingly, live in ashbins, occasionally emerging for peculiar, loving dialogues. The central figures are locked in a bitter, chess-like struggle, bound by a strange mix of tenderness, hatred, and sarcasm. The play's ambiguous ending leaves the audience to ponder if the servant will ever truly depart.
