THE DRUNKARD

A MONODRAMA

Through alcohol, we touch the holy truths of the world and even God Himself! This revelation enlightens many authors, who repeatedly use intoxication as a symbol of supreme knowledge. The story here is similar: the confession of a drunk always begins with a certain amount of alcohol.

The motif of the wandering man is extremely widespread, but a drunk, wandering man who drifts aimlessly through his life is not a common sight. Despite all the troubles and trials that fate has prepared for him, the drunkard does not break down, but pours himself another one. His only faithful companion and fellow traveler through hardship and unfavorable situations is the brick-dog, with whom he crosses the dark night streets.

Alcohol helps the drunkard to see again and to behold the world with clear eyes. Only when the head is dizzy do the purest and highest ideas emerge within it. Each successive glass unlocks new and new insights about the world and leads to the unique, comedic confession of the drunkard.

A drunken man will drink until his own collapse, wandering aimlessly through the world. A drunkard seeking the truth, which lies precisely in raising the proof. The truth is in alcohol. The truth is in the adventure of alcohol. The truth begins with one little drink, without which we all wander aimlessly through the night, so let us pour ourselves one! Cheers!
