The "Fix" was supposed to correct everything that seemed to have gone wrong in the country. Now, three members of a shattered family occupy different corners of a society in free-fall, each surviving in their own way. Earthworm squats in no-man's land beside his only friend, desperate to cross the river border and begin a new life. Lightning Bug hides in a boarded-up apartment, secretly reading books with a fugitive teacher who will do anything to keep both her - and the resistance - alive. Armadillo stands alone in her police armor searching for justice, or perhaps forgiveness. Which of them will make it to Paradise and what will it cost them? Does such a place even exist?

Presented by Tin Drum Theatre Company
