Synopsis
Romanoff is a figure weighed down by regret, as he navigates complex and unsettling interactions with other characters such as Dancer, Jane, and a woman found asleep in an upright chair. Through a series of fragmented, poetic dialogues, the characters explore deep psychological and philosophical conflicts, exposing themes of power dynamics, submission, existential dread, and moral ambiguity.
The interplay between the characters reveals layers of human suffering and the relentless search for meaning in an oppressive environment.
