Главный герой спектакля - Цинциннат; ему объявлен смертный приговор. В вывернутой наизнанку реальности ожидание смерти трансформируется в целое шоу, сопровождаемое кривляньями шутов и клоунов. Хохоча и гримасничая, они обвиняют героя в страшнейшем из преступлений - в том, от чего он не в силах отказаться и что не может предать. Общество обрекло Цинцинната на смерть в ответ на его стремление сохранить свой неповторимый, непохожий на других мир. Герой Набокова показывает нам историю человека, пытающегося сохранить самого себя, что очень нелегко сделать в ритме современной и переменчивой жизни.
