The well-off judge Ivan Ilyich falls gravely ill, and his illness and impending death erase the value of his entire previous life. Successes, power, status, and money stand powerless before the end. Two actors embody all the roles of Tolstoy's novella, based on a true event, in a theatrical game that celebrates the gift of life through the miracle of death.
