"Just as in the theater behind the scene a second veiled reality is suspected, so also in the background of the world in which we live, there is another, more delicate reality not bound to the laws of gravity - a world of higher reality than ours." Kierkegaard

What would you do if you find in your house a door that doesn't exist?
Everything started harmless. A group of artists wanted to create a theatre that transcended the limits of everyday reality. For this purpose they went to a remote house. But there the process and rehearsals of the ambitious project ran more and more out of control. Finally only the escape and an unfinished project remained. What happened? – With the distance of some years, the group OFF SZOEN looks back on this border experience and tries to reconstruct what happened back then.
A very personal, imaginative theatre performance, which mixes autobiographical, documentary and fantastic elements to a labyrinth-like building. A performance which tells of shifting realities and the complications of artistic processes. A fine-art art project that starts theatrically and opens into a visual, acoustic universe of hypnotic psychodelic emanation.
