His creature, a creature full of belonging to belonging, is violated and despised by society. The tension increases when the monster demands from his creator to create a companion. When Victor rejects this, an unstoppable revenge unfolds!

The combination of acting and music promises to send the audience on an emotional roller coaster ride!
