Product Description
This is an absurdist drama of banal interactions via two parallel stories that never directly intersect, but rather hover interdependently in a polluted atmospheric stasis. A sculptor dying of a mysterious illness leaves the city behind in order to live out his final days in solitude in an Eastern Europe village. His sole contact is with a deaf-mute, golem-like gravedigger named Vojtech, who delivers his provisions. A nameless wanderer traverses the barren streets of an unknown city in search of prey . Rife with ghosts and illusions perdues, at times violent and scatological, Wolf at the Door confronts fear and devastation, destruction and creation, the decay of both spirit and body with a blend of black humor and linguistic inventiveness that dares to question what happens after the end of both art and life.
