Themes: charismatic, mysterious, repressed trauma
If there is one thing anyone can be really, really sure of about Kras, it is that that's not their real name. The combination of the surname of the current South Safre People's Republic president and the first name of the founder of the communist revolution tells more about Kras's ideals than about them.
Kras came to Revachol recently to save themselves and their kid, An Knezhinskyi. They are obviously a person with varied experience, good command of different languages, and quite a few skills, but also with great interest in Mazovian politics. A mature, experienced, and retired leader moving to become something of a mentor, they will have to face up to their past and its horrors and, most importantly, try to find a new way forward. And while they are doing that, there will also be… taxidermy.
FULL GROUP TEXT
(mandatory for members of the group and Immigration Officers, optional for others - for example various other foreigners)
The immigrant housing occupies one whole wing of La Cage, the more decrepit one, hosting families that are far from home. People love creating distance between one another. Migrants from Graad and Oranje and some undocumented poor souls live here, stuck between horrible jobs in local sweatshops and old dreams. All together, squashed under one roof, the various cultures are clashing and mixing with each other, while everyone is still trying to maintain a sense of belonging. But is it even possible to call La Cage home?
An honorable, traditional artistic collective in La Cage, the Theatrical Taxidermy Society has been stuffing animals and delivering pithy social commentary for a long time. Some find the collections of birds with little hats and cloaks or Comrade Meerkat with their little lantern of progress a strange thing to find in the alcoves on their way to work, but the denizens of La Cage are now used to the sight. They know which windowsill to look on if they want some gossip told through stuffed mice. They marvel at the battles of old illustrated by the mangled taxidermy parrots. And they all turn up for the annual Great Taxidermy Expo, which always delivers a nuanced portrayal of the current affairs plaguing the neighbourhood in their main play - and a brand new specimen to boot!
A group of avid readers, discussing books, ideas and critically analysing theories and contemporary developments in economy, politics and sociology. Fiery discussions can come based on their deep analysis of the texts, deep friendships are formed and deepest hatreds come to life. What could be more important than the correct interpretation of text?
