In Hollandse Bergen Maatschappij Discordia will be presenting a new episode in their
Stansislavski cycle. ‘A performance about undeniable differences’ is how
it is described in their publicity, and they give the performance a
motto inspired by Mayakovski: ‘Nature doesn’t hold a mirror to you but a

tragedy to its core: a story about the overconfident enemy.
