In the performance, we encounter a world where the global economy has collapsed, and a new societal order attempts to create stability by eliminating all costs. The solution is a new medical remedy, developed for people with physical and mental disabilities. Everyone has six months to voluntarily take a capsule that will change them, before drones spread the medicine in gaseous form. Today is the last day.

Across the globe, the capsules are being taken. Wheelchair users are beginning to walk, the blind are seeing, and the deaf are hearing. For many deaf individuals, the choice becomes an internal struggle. Taking the capsule means becoming part of the new world, but also losing their language, culture, and identity.

At the world's last cultural festival for the deaf, four young people decide to flee mandatory medication. They steal an old truck but end up stranded in a ditch on the outskirts of a forest. Questions mount. Why are these four fleeing together? What binds them to each other? Is there a traitor among them? Will they reach the old woman who can hide them, or will the drones find them and complete the extermination of the deaf in the world?.

The latter depicts a form of oppression that is not always visible. A creeping and subtle oppression that hides behind benevolence, efficiency, and what is presented as the common good.

The play has been written by Lars Otterstedt and directed by Josette Bushell-Mingo. The dramaturg is Mari Moen. The script was developed with support from Dramatikkens hus.
