The Year of the Hare

On the stage: a little woman in a big box, a big man in a small box, a small box in a big box.

"Assuming every man had a box that contains something we call 'a beetle' and no one could ever look at another one's box, then everyone will know what is this beetle just by looking on their own beetle". (Ludwig Wittgenstein)
