When Vince brings his girlfriend Shelly home to meet his family, she is charmed by their 'normal' rural house. However, shortly thereafter, she meets his peculiar family, and the secrets start to unravel one by one.

The play 'Buried Child' focuses the audience's attention on the fate of a family marked by its actions in the past. They try to forget them and find a way to move forward despite them. How far can the accumulated pain, alienation, and loneliness escalate over time?

In the genre of family drama, infused with elements of thriller, absurdity, black humor, and surrealistic imagery, it presents the distorted picture of this existence. The interpretation of the team focuses on the genetic and hereditary marks that shape family relationships, particularly the father-son dynamics. Is there a chance for a person to escape the repetition of mistakes from the past?
