The dramatic concept of the play "A Somber Gaze into an Empty Wallet" revolves around four musically incompetent characters who form a band. The band emerges out of the need for change, financial circumstances, dissatisfaction with the local music scene, the impending collapse of tourism, the easiest possible way to make money, and the characters' justifications. In none of these cases forming the band is the most logical solution. "A Somber Gaze into an Empty Wallet" is an idea that gains momentum too quickly, developing faster than its participants are prepared for. The possibility of creating fake personalities, images, and success through social media transforms the idea of a garage hobby into a serious venture for which the characters are minimally prepared. The narrative follows the journey from the idea's inception to the formation of the fake band, all the way to the concert that the characters must finally perform.
