Based on Dostoevsky, this classical drama follows a ridiculous man who has given himself up to life's indifference. In a dream he shoots himself in the heart, and the shot opens the door to the realm of the dead and leads him on to paradise, where he gains insight into the truth about being human.
Viktor Melnikov takes the central role, with Adam Ørvad on accordion. The piece is a meditation on shame, envy and egoism, and on our shared responsibility for the evil in the world.
