On an empty farm, a donkey tied to a stake recounts its life story in its shadow as a forest fire approaches. Thus begins a tragicomic, funny, tender, poetic, and profound journey that explores the great classical texts about the donkey and the intense relationship between animal and human. Live music and the purest theater accompany this nameless, six-thousand-year-old donkey on a journey through its adventures, misadventures, and misadventures throughout classical Greece and Rome, the festive and carnival-filled Middle Ages, the Spanish and English Golden Ages, the Enlightenment, and Modernity. A story that fights against oblivion as the fire approaches. A work that leaves a mark... with its hoof.
