Does a language exist that everyone can understand?

In a world where everyone lives separately – without speaking or connecting with one another – a strange creature suddenly appears, a puppet that captures everyone’s attention. These people must find a common language in order to understand what this creature wants and why it is here.

The performance combines several forms of expression: movement, visual art, puppetry, sign language and music, creating a shared artistic synergy through the collaboration of multiple creative forces.
