SYNOPSIS: In this contemplation of what controls our modern lives, a group of three actors follow the commands dictated by the egotistical entity behind a screen. The screen’s written instructions and images guide the actors through a variety of scenes until, at a certain point, the screen becomes impatient with the actors’ limitations. Eventually, after punishing the actors for their ineptitude, the screen gives up. The entity abandons the actors. Two of the actors decide to leave the stage and proceed with their lives. The final actor remains, waiting in vain for the entity’s return.
