"Everything always hits us out of the blue; animals sense things, I don't." Our protagonist lives in the city center and ekes out a living as a playwright and private tutor. This works to some extent, until suddenly the rent is to be increased by 75 percent next month. Either he pays or he moves out. The tenant falls through the cracks of the system of capitalist normality - until he cuts them. He no longer plays along, becomes an animal defending his territory and finally goes to extremes in the fight against an invincible opponent with the greatest possible pathos: he throws a party. - Paco Gámez's one-person play takes us on an emotional journey through the limbo of the capitalist logic of exploitation, beasts its protagonist, celebrates radical refusal and rediscovers humanity in the absurd, hopeless fight against windmills. A Don Quixote in a sea of houses.
