Where might be a story this play invites you to follow a mosaic of situations as in a dream…
Don't ask the question and leave yourself to drift with our play…
If you really want to know - we can tell you:
The play stems from the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch who is often called the painter of wonderous and exceptional imagination as well as the painter of human soul. Some takes him for a surrealist of the 15th century, some sees in his works
a reflection of the medieval esoteric practices and alchemy. Some characters are derived from types of people, as typified by C. G. Jung.
