Israel's foremost contemporary playwright is brought to the Barcelona stage to present a tragicomedy about a man who has done nothing in his life and returns to a place where nothing has happened since he left.
Krum (“crust” in Hebrew) returns home after a long journey. He has no gifts in his suitcase, only some dirty clothes, and his life seems just as empty: he did not get rich, he did not find love; nor, needless to say, did he find success. On arriving home, however, he realises that nothing has changed there either: this is a stagnant, paralysed world that does not advance, where no one has shown any initiative. Births, marriages and funerals are the only events worth mentioning, but Krum contemplates these like a passive spectator, as if in a theatre, watching an enactment of his own fears and fantasies. With sharp humour and merciless irony, Levin portrays a world that is, perhaps, the one we all live in, a microcosm that speaks to us of different aspects of the human condition.
