It is night, and countless stars shine in the sky, with a magnificent moon glowing above. A magical night, one of those nights you wish would never end. Then darkness, becoming a child again, and a dream turning into a nightmare: the beginning of an inner thought, the memory of a childhood fear.

​

A clock ticks on. Suddenly, the passing of time thrusts us into what we will become: an elderly woman, a rocking chair and a red blanket. Bored with the stillness of the evening, Serafina comes across an old trunk where the memories of an entire lifetime have been buried, and falls asleep cradled by her past. Deep in the night, something makes a sound, something comes to life: green eyes, red hair and worn-out boots begin to move around the room.

​

Perhaps it is simply a little girl, or perhaps a being that has emerged from a strange dream or a long-forgotten memory. Suddenly, a clap of thunder, a frantic rush and contempt for what can be destroyed with one’s own hands. Hands that, observed and examined, gently caress the past. Why does a little girl suddenly burst into the melancholy of that starry sky? Perhaps she simply wants to keep us company, bring a smile to our faces, take us by the hand and accompany us into sleep, that eternal sleep in which the final breath is released. The last heartbeat, the heart falls still, and a harmonious music box turns round and round.

​

Against the backdrop of music, actors and puppets reveal to the audience the beauty and freedom of play. Freedom as a vital essence, undeniably belonging to every stage of human life, and as a force that continues to beat until the very last breath.
