When everything around her falls apart, she plays. Among forests and ruins, a child discovers that all she needs to do is close her eyes to travel. While rockets cost millions, her dreams fly for free. In the darkness behind her eyelids, stars begin to shine. Every shadow becomes a planet, every gesture creates a galaxy.
In Nico, puppetry and dance take us on a journey through the invisible world of imagination, where the universe is not a destination but a refuge for those who allow themselves to dream.
A performance for everyone who still knows how to play, and for those who may have forgotten how.
