The story of a mundane clerk who falls in love with his manager’s daughter. His love becomes an obsession and sparks the bipolar disorder that lurks within him. Based on Gogol’s classic short story, the development of mental illness is illustrated onstage through the eyes of its victim. All this occurs without a single word spoken onstage – through movement, video art, music, and lighting, in the unique stage language of the “Ayit” Ensemble.
