The per­for­man­ce is ba­sed on the open dia­lo­gue be­twe­en men of dif­fe­rent ge­ne­ra­tions, tho­se who be­gin the­ir con­scio­us life, and tho­se who try to clo­se it.

It is a con­fron­ta­tion of cross-ge­ne­ral ap­pro­aches to thin­king abo­ut life, its me­aning and va­lu­es. It is a jo­ur­ney thro­ugh the di­ver­se sta­tes of con­scio­usness and emo­tions. Per­for­mers thrown at the bo­ard know that black or whi­te can only be fo­und on the chess­bo­ard. They make di­ver­se mo­ves, use dif­fe­rent stra­te­gies, and cre­ate dif­fe­rent si­tu­ations, try­ing to un­der­stand and get to know each other and... they le­ave.

The fol­lo­wing pe­ople have been in­vi­ted to the game: Sta­ni­sław Gi­nal­ski, Fer­nan­do Pes­soa, To­masz Ro­do­wicz, An­to­ni Wój­cik-Urba­niak.
