The Unseen Guest

The Unseen Guest (Existentialism)Characters: A and B.Setting: A void. A single bench.A: So, what’s the plan?B: There is no plan. We’re waiting for the instructions.A: From who?B: The Management. They tell us who we are. "A is a baker. B is a soldier." That’s how it works.A: (Looks around) I don't see any signs. No ovens. No guns.B: We just have to wait until we're defined. Until then, we don't exist.A: (Stands up and starts dancing awkwardly) I’m a dancer.B: You can’t be. Nobody told you to be.A: My legs told me. If no one is coming to give us a label, then I’ll just pick one. I’m a dancer who likes the color blue.B: You’re making it up!A: Exactly. It’s terrifying, isn't it? We’re free to be anything, and there's no one to blame but ourselves.
