A unique production that sharpens the senses. 40 minutes of play with light and shadows, sounds and music.
At first glance, it seems that nothing exists. Yet, once the two performers start tightening invisible screws and calibrating the room through sound and their instruments, the room transforms into a machine of a kind. In its centre, the metal axle begins to rotate slowly and creakingly. It turns, goes forward, backward, shakes, hums, mutters, squeaks. Two machine operators feed the machine things we know from our everyday lives, which suddenly take on a life of their own before our eyes. Everything turns and transforms. Even the shadows separate from the objects and go for a walk.
Shadow theatre.
