The play unfolds as a 60-minute solo performance in which a lone figure speaks from what they believe to be a cave, though certainty is elusive. Deprived of light, physical sensation, memory, and external reference, the character’s internal monologue accelerates into fractured, poetic inquiry. Language becomes the only tool available to probe existence, identity, and perception, as the mind attempts to orient itself without context or confirmation.

The work is written and directed by Jerry Lieblich (The Barbarians, Mahinerator) and performed by David Greenspan, a six-time Obie Award winner known for formally rigorous and text-driven performance. The production centers on voice, shadow, and duration, using minimal theatrical elements to foreground the instability of consciousness and self-definition.
