The play basically depicts A man stands on the brink, longing to dive into his childhood. Yet, a fear grips him the dread of losing his past and present. He recalls the boatman, cast away for conversing with a bird, and the beggar whose melodic tunes fell on deaf ears. We've all labeled that scantily clad man in our street as mad, carrying his life in a sack and muttering mysterious words. He understands that those who danced were deemed crazy by those who missed the music.
