FREAKS

One should love man I was learning by night and day. What should one love? I answered man

Tadeusz Różewicz In the Middle of Life

“FREAKS” Trailer

Artificial turf, heaps of grey ducks – a world filled with desires, dreams and imagination. Prometheus turns against God and creates himself in his image. Chaos reigns, mankind is born.

This is a play dealing with the dichotomy of human beings. How much individuality is accepted? How much assimilation required? What is the essence of humanity?
