Synopsis

One family’s sad, monotonous life is shaken by the arrival of a group of strangers who prevent them from leaving as they wait for something. But what are these strangers waiting for? What do they really want? Uncertainty and a tense, overwhelming atmosphere force the darkest of secrets, kept by the members of the family for decades, into the light. This play is a search for the whys and wherefores; an explosion of everything that gradually kills us from within and that, unavoidably, will one day have to shout in order to survive. But survive what?
