In the late 90ies, the majority of the human heredity was mapped: The SK Genome. The information matches a text quantity of 800 bibles. But what does this mean, and how can we use this knowledge? What happens if this technique is used for the expansion of life: What effect would “eternal life” have on society from an economical, religious and political perspective? The young scientist Tekla has been hired by the company Genome. She quickly advances the hierarchy of the company and is faced with a patient suffering from a very strange disease: a person that genetically looks like nothing else in the world … First produced at the National Theatre in Iceland in 2007.
