Dogajanje predstave je postavljeno v čas trojanske vojne. Grki že več let neuspešno oblegajo Trojo in ostajajo ujeti na obali pred njenim obzidjem, daleč od svojih domov in družin. Okolico so opustošili in izropali, mesta pa jim ne uspe zavzeti. Vzdušje zaznamujeta obup in izguba upanja na vrnitev domov. Breme neskončne vojne poglablja osamljenost in strah pred smrtjo. Med junaki zgodbe se širijo moralni razkroj, dekadenca, nebrzdano nasilje in nazadnje norost. Scenografija je zasnovana kot območje, opustošeno z vojno. Osrednji scenski element je kovinska kletka, ki deluje, kot da je sestavljena iz ostankov različnih konstrukcij, plovil in orožja, uničenih v vojni. Njena oblika spominja na sodoben oktagon za borbe mešanih borilnih veščin. Kletka tako postane metaforičen uprizoritveni prostor, v katerem raziskujemo ritualizacijo nasilja.
The play takes place during the Trojan War. The Greeks have been unable to breach the walls of Troy, so for many years they have been in a way stranded on the shores outside Troy, far from their homes and families. They already destroyed and pillaged the surrounding area, but fail to capture the city. The atmosphere in the play is heavy; in the air, there is despair and a loss of hope of ever returning home. The burden of an endlessly long war deepens the loneliness and fear of death. Among the heroes of the story, moral decay, decadence, untamed violence, and ultimately madness begin to spread. The stage space represents an area devastated by war. The central element on stage is a metal cage. It looks like was constructed from the remains of various structures, sea vessels, and weapons destroyed in the war. In this performance, we are interested in the ritualisation of violence. The image of a warrior's cage, which resembles or evokes a modern mixed martial arts octagon, seemed appropriate as a metaphorical setting for our play.
