“If you are walking at this time and in this place, you must want something, and I’m sure I can help you with that,” – this mysterious phrase opens the gates to a world where a merchant and a buyer meet. Their meeting place is "the solitude of the cotton fields," an abstract space immersed in the darkness of night. Here begins an intricate verbal duel, where the subject of the trade remains in the shadows, while a dangerous game of desires, passions, and manipulations takes center stage.

The director of the play, Timofey Kulyabin, is a guest at the Thalia Theater for the first time. He immerses the audience in the exploration of forbidden topics, dissecting desire as a source of shame, love as painful longing, and trade as the dominant paradigm of human relations.
U.S. Hollywood star John Malkovich and award-winning Lithuanian-British actress Ingeborga Dapkūnaitė, embody this complex and multifaceted work with virtuosity and magnetism on stage, playing a "cat-and-mouse" game with each other, switching roles.
