Everyone has their own temptation. It glimmers seductively, like fireflies in a nighttime forest, and drives us (completely) crazy. “Nullification” begins when that which tempted us takes control. Complete nullification occurs when we fall under the spell of absolute power. Those who are merely in love will not survive. Only the faithful will endure—and the worthy shall rise again.

The play incorporates texts from Lesia Ukrainka’s The Stone Host, the poem Song by Thibaut de Champagne, and The Image of Beauty by Guillaume de Lorris—both translated by Mykola Tereshchenko—as well as original writings by Oksana Danchuk, Rostyslav Kolachnyk, Yana Kolodiichuk, Oleksiy Palianychka, and Tetiana Shelelio.
