This play is a reflection on the (im)possibility of accepting diversity and the other. The fragmented body of the neoplasm—the fruit of unstable conditions—overcomes barriers, loves and denies itself and others, wanders around, forgetting its profession. It frequently and with pleasure divides, goes through dangerous palpation, questions the possibility of contact with the experience of the other. Poorly brought up but very successful, it invites us to a trans-species transition.

An opponent of the war constructs a monument to a president in a strange place: a low cupboard on an attic story. A roll of the war's dead, respectfully inscribed and capable of being read only on one’s knees, is surrounded with symbols of war, vainglory, and decay. The artist, a distinguished bookmaker, and calligrapher invokes Shelley’s poem "Ozymandias," which surveys the remains of a wasted empire.
