Dana Dinková used the short story Memento, by Radek John, as a literary model for a dramatic musical and dance theater bringing to stage the problem of drug addiction. Martin, a young man, is sitting in an investigation cell. He is accused of intentional bodily harm resulting in death. The central motif of the story is the personal confession of a man who "went through hell" and found himself at the very bottom. He wonders where drug addiction may lead and whether he can step out of this vicious circle. At the same time, the actors of the story are looking for their own identity, dealing with their sexuality and issues of justice in society.
