Exhibit three for the court: The deer in the headlights face. Caught.

Absurdist Bouffon / physical theatre / tragicomedy

Quiche, an androgynous actor who has just unsuccessfully completed 714 auditions, marries Alexander Alexandrovich, the perfect man but is broken when, upon waking up in the morning, discovers that Alexander Alexandrovich is flat (Like, flat flat).

Now why would someone just do that?
