  1. 1. In The Solitude Of Cotton Fields by Bernard-Marie Koltès

    The play explores a tense and enigmatic encounter between two characters, a Dealer and a Client, in a desolate urban setting. Through their charged dialogue, the narrative delves into themes of desire, power, and existential isolation, as both characters grapple with their own inner conflicts and the nature of their interaction. The sparse, poetic language and the ambiguous nature of their exchange create a haunting atmosphere, leaving the audience to ponder the deeper implications of human connection and the often unspoken transactions that define our lives.
