Description: A feather falls out of a book marked for destruction, and takes Joseph back to his childhood memories of woodworking classes, family dinners, an attic aviary, and an upholstery shop full of swooping bolts of expensive cloth. The play's fantastical, surreal and poetic scenes were inspired by the life and work of Polish writer Bruno Schulz (1892-1942), mingling the sensuous accents of his stories with the ominous approach of the fascist aggressors who cut the writer's life short.
