The King is dying, a human being is dying, and reality is collapsing around him. Memories are mingled, feelings die, senses lose their former strength. The King is clinging to life with all his strength, and only his closest advisors, friends, and family remain by his side in his last hours. Some want to prolong his stay, while and to others it's unbearable to see the death throes of the king as he loses the remnants of his greatness in the face of death. The performance shows examines the moment between life and death in all its details. The moment becomes a continuing state with shades and halftones, splashes and fading. At our birth we do not imagine death, then we learn about it, drive away the thoughts about it, and try to overcome it, but soon we humble ourselves and finally meet it alone- in silence and with our breath stopped. One of the symbolic moments in the performance is when everyone leaves the King, and he is left with nothing but a carrot. Here is when he realizes the beauty of this carrot. This helps us realize that we never notice the simplest things in our lives: the beauty of the light, how the sun greets us every morning... With such thoughts the king disappears into the darkness.
