The Impossibility of Closeness

A photographer is abducted by a strange woman who wants to send him to Siberia to be part of the greatest still life art installation. A girl has just learned how to fly. A man and a woman have been playing tag all their lives in the city of the Blind. In Japan, men have decided to substitute women with sex toys and it must be the end of the world. All of a sudden, Kangaroos roam the Earth, guiding lost souls towards true closeness, on the soundtrack of limbo. Is closeness possible or can only kangaroos achieve it? In this surrealist dark and funny journey through the after-hours, life and death are only a matter of perspective. "The Impossibility of Closeness" is a new, thought bending play by the acclaimed Romanian playwright Peca Stefan - in a first-ever English edition. Translated by the author.
