Sobre IBD

TO WEAVE A GRASSHOPPER’S CAGE offers a glimpse into a community separated in two opposing parts. The VIP zone is a gated complex where flowers blossom, artificial lakes sparkle and people live for the sake of fashion clothing brands. The other half of this community buys their food from Frog Market and their clothes from second-hand shops. Ana, a young woman soon to graduate from high school lives in one of the gray blocks of flats where cockroaches crawl. She imagines she is in love with Nikolai, a lauded poet and a mass media favorite of the VIP zone. Dreaming of meeting the handsome poet, Ana succeeds in boring a hole in the thick prickly hedge and squeezes her way into the VIP zone. She is in for a surprise. Nothing is what it looks like in the VIP zone. Poetry is no poetry at all, magnificent women and men are not magnificent, and if one wants to talk to them, one has to learn to bark.
