is an one-act play*  for
READING AND PLAY-INITIATING.
It speaks of
The I
Whose plural symbolize
FIRST MASK - first voice
SECOND MASK - second voice
THIRD MASK -  third voice,
FOURTH MASK -  fourth voice.
Whose objectivity represents an
INDIFFERENT VOICE OF THE NARRATOR.

The I is consistent only to the active changes that occur in space of the play. His stage equipment makes only a chair.
LIGHT & DARKNESS
SOUND & SILENCE
have equivalent role to all persons involved. 

Theatre and any else performance of this a one-act drama requires maximal inclusion of
THE REALITY: spatial, temporal, effective.
 
Original is just this text of a one-act, therefore, it is only initial level of the performance determining new levels, but prescribing them not in their substantive details. It also requires co-authoring by all participants of the drama, which is to say not only interpretation but also authentic textual contribution to the original record of this a one-act drama. Initiation could be performed: with others - in a theatre, in newspapers, magazines, on the street, in private seances.
. . . And, of course, with oneself - at the inner theatre venues.

INITIAL SCENE OF THE PIECE 
 
THE I sit on a chair. With its back to the audience. Shielded with dark overlay, with an opening exposing not but Its nape. The nape is paining It. From the questions. Its circle makes a sharp beam of light. All the rest is covered by the complete darkness.
 
INDIFFERENT  VOICE OF THE NARRATOR (resonating throughout space of the performance and auditorium, coming from many loudspeakers):

"EIGHTH DECEMBER ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE (actual date), TWENTY HOURS AND ZERO MINUTE (ACTUAL TIME). "CHAMBER THEATRE" SCENE (actual place). TIME AND SPACE AS TIME AND SPACE WORTHY OF EVERY RESPECT WITHIN THE GENERAL COSMIC MOVEMENT. BEGINNING OF THE FIRST SHOW NAMED SEVENTH CASE OR LESSON IN GRAMMA, WRITTEN AS A ONE-ACT PLAY WITH A POSSIBILITY TO BE IN EVERY TIME AND EVERY SPACE PLAYABLE. OUTDOORS DRIZZLING SNOW (actual weather conditions). 177 SPECTATORS IN THE HALL (authentic data), 177 THE I, 177 FIRST MASKS, SAME NUMBER OF THE SECOND, THE THIRD AND THE SAME NUMBER OF THE FOURTH MASKS. THEN, 177 OF POSSIBLE NARRATORS.
