In a Zurich university hallway, a group of academics become obsessed with a mysterious “beast” lurking just out of sight. As speculation spirals into certainty, language begins to distort, alliances shift and reality itself feels unstable. The Colour of Water is a sharp, character-led dark comedy exploring grief, perception and the absurdity of intellectual authority. Blending humour with unease, the play examines how quickly certainty can become delusion – and how fragile our understanding of the world truly is.
