He and she, alone in their universes, seek answers to their loneliness with Bill, an imagined being who takes the place of a guardian angel, a protector, but also a challenger, a questioner, who takes the characters and the public to reflect together on freedom, on our capacity to dream, to project the future and to understand the world around us. They swim in a sea of existential questions, seen through their eyes as a child.
The characters venture into the unknown, creating a magical universe where anything is possible. Theater intersects with image and sound, in an intimate interaction, exploring the loneliness, fears, questions that children experience in their day-to-day lives. For this, there is a resource to new technologies through videographic creation, which transforms the scenery and the actors into imaginary screens of the play. Through sound, the children’s thoughts visit the stage, the result of sound experimentation carried out in co-creation sessions with the school community involved in the creative process.
