In this production I wanted to portray the nonchalant way of life of the people living on welfare in a modern society. The action was brought to our time and the entire life of Larina’s family; the emotions and human relations, the way of being, was based on consumption. On stage Larina’s clean, nearly aseptic house and garden, was surrounded by a dump. A place for a childish game that turned into a rude reality. The premiere was on the 5th of January in Vaasa City Theatre.
