Vega Scene gave the following information, among other, about Goliath:
"The performance plays out in a modern family, in which David and Goliath are brothers. Their mother Borgny turns 50, and she is highly pregnant. No father is present. During the party, the fundament of the family is put in motion. The very myth about the strong one and the weak one, those who need extra love and care, must be reconsidered. The story of uneven power dynamics touches at an aspect of the myth we have long overlooked. Why hasn't anyone tried to understand Goliath's story? Did he deserve to die? And does he, really, deserve a reputation as big, strong and evil?"
