Description of the work: Our earth is full of worlds within worlds. Each of these microworlds lives its own unique life. Through micro-movements, body landscape, and small objects the performance focuses on tiny things in plain sight that are often overlooked. Set against the backdrop of a frantic and vast world, viewers are invited to start appreciating small and vulnerable everyday things again. This playful and poetic performance explores the fragility of our existence, charming both adults and young audiences alike.
