A remarkable tale of greed. Mlima is an old elephant who is killed on the savannah and – as a ghost – is witnessing the movement of his tusks on the illegal ivory market. The play is constructed from the same principle as in Arthur Schnitzler’s “La Ronde” with scenes that each have 2 characters. Three actors plays of a gallery of several characters which includes poachers, law enforcement, civil servants and buyers of illegal ivory.
