Drama, ki jo je leta 1969 napisal Dušan Jovanović, je v osnovi zgodba s kriminalnim zapletom, ki govori o menjavi najdragocenejše zbirke znamk na svetu za najlepšo žensko na svetu. Je zgodba o menjavi življenj, zgodba o svobodi odločanja in mišljenja. Identitete junakov so izmuzljive, saj so ti nezmožni odločanja in vedno znova odkrivajo resnice o sebi in svojih interesih. Iz tega pa rastejo tudi novi in usodni preobrati.
Besedilo, ki je nastalo kot odziv na dramatiko absurda, razkriva elemente ludizma in pirandelizma. Tudi tokrat je bilo izhodišče za ustvarjanje predstave avtorjeva didaskalija »igrajte se vsi, ki v igri sodelujete«.
A play written in 1969 by Dušan Jovanović is basically a story with a criminal plot, disclosing the exchange of the most valuable stamp collection for the most beautiful woman in the world. It is a story about swapping lives, a story about the freedom of decision and thought. The identities of the heroes are slippery, as they're incapable of making decisions and therefore keep discovering the truths about themselves and their own interests. This process brings about new and fateful turns.
The text, created as a response to the Theatre of the Absurd, reveals elements of ludism and Pirandellism. This starting point for this staging also took the author's stage direction “this play must be play for all who play in it”.
Zdi se, da je režiserjeva mladost tako kot mladost Ivančevega asistenta Luke Martina Škofa veliko prinesla k potrebni distanci do uprizorjenega besedila. Režijski koncept namreč omogoča tako uresničitev igrivosti besedila kot osamosvojitev odrske podobe od le-tega. Popolni, drzni in sodobni ludizem je kvaliteta odrske postavitve, ki jasno, igralsko bogato ter pomensko nagovarja občinstvo.

It seem that Ivanc's youth, as well as the youth of his assistant, Luka Martin Škof, contributed a great deal to the necessary distance for the performed text. The director's concept thus enables the realisation of the text's playfulness as well as the independent stance of the stage image related to it. Complete, audacious, and contemporary ludism is the quality of this staging that addresses the audience in a clear, artistically rich and meaningful way.
