A piece of paper turns out to be the beginning of creative play with imagination. This shape can be anything she wants.

This is a story that is addressed to younger viewers 3-7. It is a preschool group that is just entering into social relationships, facing new challenges, discovering creative joy. With this performance we want to support this very important period of development, to encourage unfettered creativity and self-expression through creation, the first attempts to come into contact with art. (both artistic and musical).

The two protagonists She and He face difficult issues that accompany children on a daily basis, but they are not always articulated. There are no obvious answers.

In the performance, the possibilities of reviving the form will be used. The paper is getting bigger. The scale is changed and the heroes enter the world of creation. A sheet of paper becomes mountains, and an indistinct shape (drawing) comes to life and becomes many objects for animation.

An ultraviolet lamp is used in the performance.

The performance took part in the 31st National Competition for the Exhibition of Polish Contemporary Art.
