2. Theme

Pretty dark with a bit of humor. A lot of moments where the viewers feel mental pressure.

3. Plot 

 The story is about an autistic teenager trying to solve the mystery of a dog's murder. It shows many sides of life from the perspective of an autistic kid and his daily interactions with others (mostly adults).

4. Staging 

The play takes place in a black box so that the audience feels more close to the actors and they emphasize with the characters more.
