The action of the play "Strip-tease" takes place in a fiery red space, hermetically sealed, which will turn out to be the antechamber of death, where two men dressed and equipped identically, wait to pass "beyond". Mr. 1 and Mr. 2 behave and think differently, they problematize, they ask themselves questions without answers, but essentially, the conclusion that emerges from the show is the same: as the moment of passing approaches, people become more and more empty of soul, and the spirit is purified. The annihilation of personalities, of identities is suggested by their undressing by the "Great Whore", dressed in elegant underwear. The fate of the two is decided when they are stripped of their bodies, like a garment.
