The play is a compositional study based on a story by Boris Vakhtin. The desire to introduce the audience to the poetic world of Vakhtin's prose and to find an atmosphere reminiscent of the author led the creators to use the form of studies, stage sketches that are extremely conventional and open to the audience's perception. The search for intonation and the fine line between conventionality and authenticity of experience were central to this work.
