The play Elephants by Miguel Ángel Diani focuses on family bonds and conflicts among members, serving as a mirror for broader social and cultural issues. The "elephants" are the unseen burdens carried by the characters, the persistent memories, as well as the existential weight of guilt and failure.

The work is a characteristic example of absurdist theatre, which the author consistently cultivates: a theatre where everyday life turns into a scene of stripping away, and the family functions as a microcosm of a system of decay and alienation.
