The play “A Sad Look into an Empty Wallet” is based on a dramatic text centered around four characters who form a band despite being musically incapable. The band comes into existence out of a desire for change, financial circumstances, dissatisfaction with the local music scene, the looming collapse of tourism, the easiest possible way to make money, and a series of other excuses by the characters—where in none of these cases is forming a band the most logical solution, or as the protagonists call it, “the project.” TPUPT is an idea that gains momentum too quickly, that “grows legs” faster than its creators are ready for. The possibility of creating fake personas, image, and success through social media transforms what began as a garage hobby into a serious undertaking for which the characters are hardly prepared.
