Written in 1950, this classic of the Theatre of the Absurd has become more than just relevant in today's digital age — it feels essential.
We live in a world where the defining formula is "I post, therefore I am."

The world of the play is artificial and superficial, with picture-perfect interiors and facades resembling advertisements. Behind them lie complete emotional emptiness, mechanical routines, and the loss of individuality.
