The production maps the development of integrating people with intellectual disabilities into mainstream society through a historical excursion into Czech society and the story of Penzion Lipůvka. Our guide is The Fool from the tarot deck, who leads us through the history of normality as a systematically constructed mechanism of oppression. True to his character, The Fool turns the world and its order upside down. He shows that deviation from the norm is not a symptom of a sick society, but a manifestation of its diversity. At the end of the first row of the tarot journey, The Fool becomes the old Hermit, illuminating the path back to the beginning with the light of his experience.
