Mariage Blanc is a tragic farce set in a middle class household in
Poland of the late nineteenth century and concerns itself with
respectable attitudes towards love and sex in the society of that
period. The Hunger Artist Departs takes its origin and inspiration
from a short story by Kafka in which a showman travels from town to town
with his inpressarion, starving himself for long periods of time for
people's amusement.
