It is war time in the city. A mother takes her twin sons to the countryside to ask her own mother to take care of them. This ‘grandma’ is illiterate, dirty, stingy, fierce, and a murderer.
Life is hard for the boys, and in order to survive, they have to make themselves very tough. They start an incredible regime to train themselves for survival by constantly fighting, staying hungry, or learning to freeze…
They put down what happens every day in a notebook, which becomes the diary of two young rascals. As each page is turned with the passing of days, human nature in its rawest, most primitive and lustful state reveals itself.
Rensen Chan, Artistic Director of The Nonsensemakers, leads the cast in an eerie presentation of masks and physical movements against the sand painting art of Hoi Chiu and the stirring music of Frankie Ho and Chester Wong, to create a nightmarish theatre space which is at the same time poetic, idyllic, sensational and overwhelming! | | | | |  | | Creative Personnel and Cast | Original: Ágota Kristóf
