✦ Synopsis


In a city where stories are forbidden, a storyteller takes revenge on the bandit king who removed his tongue. An advisor to the court of Catherine the Great is called upon to investigate a murder in a locked room in which the only suspect is a chess-playing automaton. A Georgian taxidermist invites four London orphans to spend the evening with him, the same evening each and every year. A communist bureaucrat attempts to resurrect his dead son through creative errors in accounting. In a narrative cycle that stretches from ancient Asia Minor to the last days of humanity, The People Factory presents a host of characters, disparate lives connected by the inescapable human need to create and control.
