Imagine waking up one morning with your body looking different and strange. And you do feel strange. And you do speak strangely. Eventually, suddenly you are not understood at all. While looking at you, people around seem to be so puzzled that they themselves appear anomalous. Things that were normal just yesterday are suddenly distorted, dislocated, perhaps even monstrous. Has it always been like this and you just haven’t noticed it until now? Or did something truly peculiar happen overnight? And how can you get out of it? What sense could you make of the situation? And with whom could you share it? With your mother? With your father? With your sister?  We invite you to visit an extraordinary, or perhaps on the contrary to quite an ordinary, room, where you can ask these questions alongside our protagonist. Just don’t expect any answers from him. He’s abnormal. Is it merely a fruit of the writer’s imagination? That writer who passed away a hundred year ago? Or is it an experience that could happen to anyone? Or does it have to happen to everyone?
