Hope

visual drama

After the end of the world, among the remains of scorched earth and the ruins of a forgotten civilization, a strange creature awakens. Fragile, awkward, and alone. A barren silence rules the surroundings until a mysterious find crosses its path, prompting a rediscovery of the meaning of care, closeness, and life.

"Hope" is a wordless visual theater performance. A surreal and poetic journey through a post-apocalyptic world, where the movement of unusual puppets, a live soundscape, and stage images shaped by the elements of nature intertwine.

From a rough, bone-dry past to the fragile beginning of life, the performance reveals an extraordinary encounter before which even the greatest strength proves vulnerable. Can care become a refuge in a world where there is nowhere left to take shelter? And can we let go of what has become our only hope? Sometimes, it is precisely where everything seems to have ended that something new begins.
