All are the fragments from which we construct our heritage and our memory. The performance is an exploration of the lost and of historical ripples in the form of phantom pains. In the set, a series of disappearances will be created and staged through contemporary magic. The plot is metaphorical and is realised on many different levels through the choreography of puppets and objects interacting with circus artists and puppeteers. The music is specially composed and plays a major role in the narrative machinery of the performance.
