Synthesis of dance, stage movement, vocals and acting in the play based on Horace McCoy's novel "Shoot horses too, or right?” (They Shoot Horses, Don't They?) motifs that tell about the struggle with one's weaknesses and insurmountable circumstances.

America during the Great Depression. There is unemployment and poverty all around. People are ready for anything to make a little money. Also to take part in a dance marathon lasting several days, every moment of which is eagerly captured by the audience, who have not seen people in the participants for a long time. Lies, fear, betrayal, ambition fill the air of this show. The competition becomes a fierce battle for a place under the sun, and those who cannot give up the dream of the big prize have to sacrifice more than they originally thought.

Someone will choose the fight, so as not to turn into an animal - chase a horse; someone will turn into a hunted animal, unable to fight for himself; someone, unwilling or unable to fight further, will cease to exist, seeing in this way an alternative to the loss of humanity.
