Marius von Mayenburg: Perplex - Szkéné/Exit Generation

Translated by Judit Garai

Verse, song by Lóránt K. Kabai

Orsi and Adam come home from their holiday. Something stinks, the electricity is off, there is a strange plant on the kitchen table. And suddenly, out of nowhere, Kati and Viktor appear, who - it seems - also live there. Or maybe they actually live there? A play full of surreal twists and turns, in which nothing is what it seems. Are we really defined by our environment? Can we break out of our skin, break the boundaries of bourgeois society? The play's exciting dramaturgy explores a number of serious themes with humour and playfulness. There's an erupting volcano, a cleaning lady's death and moose sex, and a box that probably shouldn't have been opened...
