A stage poem about the country from which one leaves. Text on brain drain and searching in the structure of its possible meanings. How, from what, and what are we leaving for? How do we see our country from a perspective and how from its centre? What is our concept of home? Are we Slovaks? Do we perceive ourselves more Slovak at home or abroad? Do we fell like that at all? Didn't we get too comfortable in this place which we want to leave? Is the concept of our so-called pettiness a potential catalyst for change or just a satisfying complaint? Autoerotic snorting as our hallmark? Eternal dissatisfaction that rarely turns into some activity? Are we chasing each other out of here? Are we opening doors to others or closing them to ourselves? Isn't leaving actually an undersong of the Slovak myth? The drain as an associative song about a phenomenon that has been shaping many aspects of public and private life in Slovakia for a long time.
