Somewhere on an East-European sea shore there is a townhouse with its back facing the sea. The administrator, Ivan Vasilevitch, calls for a tenant meeting. Meanwhile, the time machine built by Timotief, a tenant, accidentally turns on. We travel four-hundred years in time, eras and roles get all mixed, and we end up in the court of Ivan the Terrible. While the tenants desperately try to get back into the future, we are left not knowing what is illusion and what is real. [Radnóti Színház]
”What could I say? If we do not fool ourselves, we will quickly be fooled by others. And if you manage to fool whom you call ’yourself’, that is quite an achievement, since usually it is the other way around, that is what fools us.” (Viktor Pelevin)
