Description "The actor steps onto a bare stage and explains why the planned drama cannot take place: there is no staged setting due to insufficient fund! This explanation turns into an eighty minute monologue in which the actor pulls all registers, becomes polemic, tragic, melodramatic, comic. He provokes opposition, breaks traditions, exposes the audience, attacks the establishment. He jumps from part to part, 'dies various deaths and in doing so exposes the cultural industry, takes colleagues, directors and producers to task and philosophizes about theatre and society, their relationship and future"
