A wandering theatre show, inspired by T.S. Eliot's poetry, follows a contemporary everyman through a single day. Using striking visuals, dynamic choreography and grotesque humour, it reveals the traps of modern life, where many lose their individuality without reflection. The performance, blending satire and spectacle, questions our fate: does the collective possession of the Peregrinuses ever end? Are we victims of the dybbuks, or do we become them? This journey forces us to confront whether we still control our identities or if we surrender to the forces shaping us. A thought-provoking, visually captivating experience.
