To Be (from age 5)

To Be is a poetic performance about human rights and dignity, told through a simple yet powerful story of life with joy and challenges. A performer works at their desk, where figures and objects made from unexpected materials gradually come to life and transform to depict a personal journey.

The performance is wordless and blends drama, comedy and beautiful music in a way that speaks to both children and adults. Performed without dialogue, it transcends cultures and age groups — a truly universal artistic experience full of poetry and charming details.
