In Experiments with Rats

Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein and Stalin are a group of lab rats imprisoned in a glass cage. They are veterans of scientific experimentation. They’ve seen it all. For them, with the passing of time, electric shocks have become a kind of incognizable deity. They don’t know how to interpret them, nor do they know what so much pain means. One day, an especially intense session of shocks finishes them off. They die. This allows them to pass to the other side and visit the scientist who has been experimenting with them all this time. They have a few questions. And they want a lot of answers. Winner of the Spanish Society of Authors and Publishers (SGAE) Theater Prize 2007.
