Arthur, who is living a dull life as a clerk, dreams of becoming a
writer. In fact, he is
working on a novel, without much success, with his secretary, Carmen. Suddenly
an incredible event occurs. His body goes through a sudden
transformation, an
anomaly destined to change his life. At
first he appears to be destroyed by the absurd event but urged on by a
speculator without scruples, Blowhard, a mad painter called Dili, Penman, a
general practitioner with illusions of leaving his name to science, and Carmen,
he decides to exploit his anomaly and, as a result, becomes rich and famous. But at a
certain point... The play is constructed within a surreal dimension that has
much in common with reality.
