The future we are heading for has always been interesting but also thought-provoking. What’s the point of human existence in today’s society, which is totally dependable on economics? What happens when human relationships are exhausted and the connection between man and nature is broken and everything happens under a mathematical formula, which is already determined?

In a dystopian world, built by the play, the personality is deleted, and the sources of emotions – reduced to a minimum. Medical exams determine the female’s readiness to reproduce and fulfill her duties to society. We are the ones to determine climate conditions and we can order an organic tree over the phone.\
