There is no coherent dramaturgy in the performance – each poem is presented as a stand-alone performance, interpreting poetry in a bold, unusual and non-stereotypical way.
Normal rabbits are at the center of the show. They will try their best to please, to make the audience (and themselves) like them by wearing spectacular masks and gorgeous clothes, charming everyone with their beautiful voices and even prettier moves. They will do their best to avoid meeting the viewer and themselves, hiding
their depressed faces and bodies, ashamed of their hoarse voices and uncontrolled movements. Because they are afraid of being themselves. Perhaps they don’t know what it means to be yourself because they are not aware of who they really are.
To find this out the rabbits will have to slowly and painfully – while opening new wounds – shed their fur leaving their casts that were grown according to the latest tendencies of fast-moving consumer goods and social network culture.
