“One zap and bang the next one's infected. A person is moulded by their environment.”
Sergei, a cosmonaut, has sacrificed his whole life for one goal, but once he achieves it, he’s left floating in space. Thirty-something Helena has been flitting around the world trying to find herself, but always ends up back at Mauri’s house, her adoptive father. Mauri is doing his best to take care of Helena, but in doing so he smothers all her ambitions. Lehtola’s play is a series of verbally skilful and achingly funny monologues of people at a crossroads in their lives, analysing the ways they become dependent on other people and questioning whether we are ever capable of making completely free choices in our lives.
The play has been translated into English, Polish and Hungarian.
