Synopsis
At the apex of a suicide jump; at the moment where up is about to become down, time freezes and the normally reliable laws of motion and matter dissolve. The jumper, Atom, begins the play at this “invisible pinprick of time”, suspended in this strange perversion of time and space that places him in front of a group of what he imagines to be the “gods.” He has been granted this time to reflect on his life and explain what brought him to this point.
