Místnost absolutního ticha

Orignal title: Кімната абсолютної тиші, 2015Translator: Milan Tamás Vocílka, Český

Modern humans live in such a polluted information space that they lose sensitivity to the most terrible things.

Raising his son, solving personal problems, trying to write compositions, he is dreaming of the only one thing: an impenetrable cocoon – a room of absolute silence. And according to his moral qualities, in the end, he acquires it.

The action of the play takes place against the backdrop of a surreal geopolitical catastrophe that is a part of an advertising campaign for a large cement manufacturer.
