Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.― Rachel Carson, Silent Spring

Starting from the imaginative world of poets, this performance delves into the dimly lit forest realm, where it explores the vibrant vitality of life within the forest. It uncovers the serenity and mysteries of the sea in a small pebble and the tranquility and blessings in a single leaf, drop of water, or a written word. Each of these, whether a leaf or a drop of water, is a bustling yet tranquil universe, resonating with the ancient secrets and blessings of the ages.

Long time ago, when I was in my Mum’s belly, I had a lot of dreams.
For most of them I’ve forgotten, only this one…
A little girl had found an egg in a Whale’s belly.
She wanted to keep this egg, but was afraid that it would die.
So she decided to look for its mother.
On her journey, she met Seagull Mother, Hippocampus Couple, and Clown fish Couple.
But neither of them were its parents.
While the egg became bigger and bigger.
A Giant was burn from it.He continued to grow up.
And became the Sky, the Earth, and the World…
The little girl woke up, finally.
She decided to say farewell to the Whale.
And looked to her own Birth.
