While based on actual events and extensive research, the work uses the events as a way of exploring the interplay between the world of psychiatry and the world of psychosis. Its narrative operates as a dream-like theatre of encounters between the four characters in a landscape where the hallucinations of psychiatry overlap with the logic of psychosis. Just as in the world of sleep, where conventional logic is replaced by a dream logic which blurs all spatial and temporal boundaries, so in this work characters and narratives blend into each other, bringing the normal boundaries between image and sound into question. This is achieved by the interchangeability of narrative elements. For example, at some points in the script the same scenes are played but with different voice-overs. Because of these interchangeable relationships, the recollections of Bailey, the Dancer, the Investigator and the Secretary become so intertwined that it becomes impossible to delineate one from the other, either the frailty of the Patient, the reason of the Psychiatrist, the calculated analysis of the Investigator or the memories of the Secretary.
