An elderly man, a young escort, and a night that erases itself. Exploring the thin lines of morality and freedom, Palestinian director Bashar Murkus is back with a multi-layered duet of fighting and embracing human instincts. 

Thought-provoking like no other, Palestinian collective Khashabi Theatre, Bashar Murkus and Khulood Basel return to Noorderzon with a complex tale of manipulation in search of deeply human truths.  

A man with a fragile grasp on reality meets a younger man who claims to be his hired escort for the evening. As the night unfolds, it becomes clear that the elderly man’s memory fades with each passing minute; he easily forgets the young man’s presence or even mistakes him for other people. The young man finds himself in a dubious place of freedom. He suddenly has complete control, where his actions bear no witness or consequence. As the two men share a night of fleeting comfort and pain, moral limits are pushed to known edges. How far might someone go to fend off loneliness, even if it means committing harmful acts? What, if anything, can curb our deepest instincts when no one is watching?
