"Ruth manages the animal hotel The Stable, a retreat where people who are exhausted from their lives can turn into their favourite animals. In The Stable, the atmosphere is Dionysian. Community, the party, the intuitive and the corporal are hailed. The Stable provides its guests with the opportunity to be reborn, and to save themselves.
Three persons arrive at The Stable; Kjetil, Randi and Geir, who want to be recreated as a pig, a dog and a giraffe, respectively. Kjetil has left his young nephew alone in the world, and the others have also put relationships they found too difficult behind.
(...)
The audio play is the actors' improvisation on the text. The text is treated as a plain, where all the sorting into roles has been cancelled. The actors take the words, and decide the sounds and landscape of sounds in the situation."
