Author Rodrigo García

Performing: Marcin Kalisz

A father, a ruler, a husband, a commander. This mythical archetype constitutes a starting point for García in his confrontation with the audience. The title itself makes the protagonist of his text more than just a father, shopping for his family. He is like Michael Douglas in Falling Down, letting go of all his inhibitions. He cannot stand the lies, the shallowness and the pettiness of the surrounding reality. He treats all his social and family connections to a brutal therapy.

A monologue, one actor, a stream of words and gestures. The stage presents the father and his family, made up of hyper-realistic silicone dolls. It is a bizarre black comedy with great comic potential and a razor-sharp diagnosis of reality. Is it possible to create a model of the modern world using KFC wings? Well, the protagonist tries to do just that.
