In the Night of Our Being

Premiere: 29. 10. 2015

Dramatization based on the works of two major figures of world literature - an American classic Herman Melville (1819-1891) and his experimental prose Bartleby the Scrivener and work of the greatest Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) The Book of Unrest.  

Antihero in the Melville’s story restricts in the frame of literary draft his speech on variations of sentences I'd rather not, please, on the other hand the narrator The Book of Unrest indulges frantic dream and its author after his death became the subject of speculation and interpretation of literary theorists.
