The true gift of light is shadow. A poetic dialogue between a man and his shadow
Peter has a twin sister: the shadow. They “came into the light” together. They grow up and play together. Peter moves the shadow, and she always gives him wonderful ideas. When Peter grows up, he does the things that adults do, he no longer has time to play. The shadow always remains there, behind him, waiting to be looked at again. On stage, an actor and his shadow on a white background play and interact, creating characters and imaginary worlds. A dreamlike, poetic and ironic visual language that speaks to all ages with the magical language of shadows.
