Encyclopedists or bunch of middle aged french philosophers (and old man Voltaire) decided to make a book that will stirr up way more drama between them than expected. And become an annoyance for king and clergy.

Fear

He, who lives his life day, after day, after day. No excitement, no variety. Perfectly ordinary (1).

What is too well known becomes too dull to contain the authentic and the marvelous (2). Today, something's different. There's a little wind (3). Why is there Wind? It's cold.

Disorder is introduced (4). Papers flying around, drawers moving, curtains fluttering. Takeshi's scared. What is this?

Day after day (5). Why doesn't it stop?! "What's happening (6)?"

Act 1:

* Kati surrounds the house and squeezes through the tilted window. She slowly breezes around. She asks herself how one can live in such a dark and closed space. She tries to push the curtains aside but they only flutter. *

Disorder is introduced (1).Takeshi's alarm breaks the silence, signaling the start of a new day. The window curtains are fluttering. He is astonished (2). He rises, showers, brushes his teeth, and dresses in one of his seven work attires. Why does his room smell like coffee beans? Descending the stairs, he sets the kettle on the stove, reads the newspaper as the aroma of coffee envelops him. He feels a light breeze that sets the newspapers in motion. The second work alarm punctuates his morning routine. Takeshi leaves the house.

In the evening, upon entering his front door, Takeshi makes his simple dinner, picks up the remote control from the floor, followed by catching up on the latest docu soap. After the TV-show, he climbs the stairs. Annoyingly, reading his book is disturbed by a breeze, so he extinguishes the bedside lamp, and closes his eyes – the conclusion of a weird day.
