Are you afraid of the dark? In a story about how to overcome fear, we are looking for brave people to stand up to fear and evil.
Did you know that there is a ghost living deep in the magical woods that beckons passers-by, enchants them and then takes control of their bodies? The story of an individual who set out on a journey for adventure, on a quest full of creatures hiding in the shadows. Where danger lurks around every corner and where you never know whom to trust. Will our hero master this battle with the supernatural world? Certainly not alone. He will need your help! That is why we are looking for brave people who will face fear and evil. Fearless individuals who triumph over themselves and turn bad endings into happy ones.
A fairy tale told without a single word, everything is narrated through movement only.
