A man sits on a bench at the edge of an abyss watching the human race rush into it. Along comes a second man contemplating "a heroic dive." What is the abyss really and what does it mean to these characters? Visions of deepening mysteries emerge from their confrontation, and situations escalate until they realize that life really is worth something. Ain't it?

8pm April 11 & 2pm April 12
On the bleak landscape of a place at once completely divorced from reality and inexplicably connected to it sit three people trapped in urns. How they came to be here is irrelevant, as it has been so long that they have become parts of the fixtures themselves. As they begin to speak quickly and at times over one another, the caucophone weaves into the three individual stories of a love triangle - one that the man and his former wife and mistress are forced to relive eternally.
