The title of Zbigniew Herbert's play refers to Plato's Myth of the Cave, where non-philosophers are compared to prisoners in a cave, who can only look in one direction and are always deceived. From the true world of ideas, they receive vague shadows. And only a philosopher can get out of the cave by constantly asking himself questions and searching for answers. Only Socrates is lucky enough to escape from Herbert's philosophical Cave - and only into death.

Through this amazingly beautiful intertextual weave, skilfully stylised as an ancient drama and based on allusions to classical and Christian texts by Nietzsche, Eliot, Sartre, our anxious & here and now»: rejection of otherness, unjust sentences, premonitions of war, the same speeches, monuments, prisons - one endless piggishness.
