This theatrical work consists of five acts that incorporate fantastical elements and features characters from folklore and history such as Saint Peter, Don Quixote, and a smith who finds himself confronted with profound loss. The play explores themes of grief, the search for redemption, and the nature of existence through a blend of comedy and tragedy. The opening of the play sets the stage in a smithy where the grieving smith is lamenting the loss of his children, who have succumbed to the plague. In a dialogue filled with sorrow and longing for his lost family, the smith seeks comfort and answers from a doctor, who is seemingly aloof and philosophical about death. The arrival of Saint Peter introduces a supernatural aspect as he grapples with his identity and purpose on Earth. As the characters prepare for a journey, the tone oscillates between despair, absurdity, and the pursuit of understanding life's mysteries, hinting at deeper allegorical meanings regarding faith, love, and the human condition.
